Blackberry Cobbler

Still reaping the benefits of the blackberries, I made my all time favorite blackberry dessert, Blackberry Cobbler. 

Ingredients:

3-5 cups of blackberries

1/3 cup flour

1 cup sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.   Stir together berries, flour, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. 

Sprinkle with lemon juice. Spoon mixture into a lightly greased 8 or 9-inch baking dish.   Prepare crust.

Crust:

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons sugar

11/2 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 teaspoons salt

1/4 cup shortening

1/2 cup whipping cream

1/2 cup buttermilk

2 tablespoons butter (melted)

1 teaspoon sugar

Combine first four ingredients; cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly.  Stir in whipping cream and buttermilk just until blended.   Spoon 9 mounds of crust over berries.  Brush with butter and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar.  Bake at 425 degrees for 30 minutes or until browned and bubbly.  Serve warm with ice cream if desired.  

Serves: 9
