Blackberry Cobbler



Mmm, sooooo good!!! The kids were SUPER excited to try this since they helped picked the berries!

Dust berries with sugar and cinnamon


Mix together the water and cornstarch until smooth


Add cornstarch mixture to berries


Cook until it comes to a boil


Pour the blackberries in an 8 x 8 inch square pan, then dot with butter


So instead of "cutting in" (like taking butter slices and dropping it in the flour and use a pastry blender to cut it in....) I melted mine til it was almost completely melted, then stirred it up. Worked just fine and was a bit easier! :)


Ta-Da!!! :)


Then you add the milk and it is kinda lumpy as you can see


Drop it over your berry mixture by the spoonfuls


All done!


Ok, so you can't really see the biscuit over the berries, but it's in there!


Added some homemade whipping cream!


And then I got adventurous, not pretty enough for a restaurant, but hey, I can try and play right?


Blackberry Cobbler

3 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup cold water
1 tablespoon butter

In large saucepan put your berries and the sugar and cinnamon all together. Cook and stir mixture until it comes to a boil. Combine the cornstarch and water until smooth, stir into fruit mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Pour into a greased 8 x 8 pan. Dot with butter.

Biscuit Topping:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup cold butter
1/2 cup 2% milk

In small bowl melt butter until it's almost melted, add the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Stir until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk just until moistened. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto hot berry mixture.
Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until filling is bubbly and topping is golden brown. Serve warm. Either with whipped cream and/or vanilla ice cream!
YUMMY!!!!
