Ingredients

• 1 cup of all purpose flour
• 1½ cups of sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 7 tablespoons butter (still cold)
• ¼ cup water, boiling
• ¼ cup water, cold
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1½ teaspoon lemon juice
• 4 cups blackberries (rinsed and pat dry)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
2. In one large bowl, mix ½ cup of the sugar, flour, salt and baking powder together and then cut in the cold butter until the flour mixture looks crumbly.
3. Next, stir in the boiling water into the flour mixture until it is moist evenly.
4. In a different bowl, mix the cold water and cornstarch together until dissolved.
5. Next, add the remaining sugar, lemon juice and blackberries, then pour in a large seasoned cast iron skillet.
6. Bring the berry mixture to a boil, constantly stirring so as to avoid burning.
7. The next step in the blackberry cobbler recipe is placement of the dough.
8. Take the berry mixture off the heat and drop spoonfuls of dough onto the top of the hot berry mixture, placing with an even hand.
9. Bake for approximately 20 – 30 minutes until the dough turns golden brown.
