Blackberry Cobbler

Inspiration: Betty Crocker
Prep time: 30 min
Cook time: 1 hour
Makes: 8x8 pan

Description: Wild blackberries are plentiful in the northwest right now. I like to make smoothies with the ones the kids bring in. When I have enough to make a whole cobbler I go to this recipe. It's classic, easy, and most importantly tasty!

Ingredients

2 ½ cups fresh

1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 cup milk
½ cup butter, melted
Whipped cream or ice cream, if desired

Directions:

1.  In medium bowl, stir together blackberries and sugar. Let stand about 20 minutes or until fruit syrup forms. Heat oven to 375.

2   In separate, large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt and milk. Stir in melted butter until blended. 

3. Spread in un-greased 8-inch square pan. Spoon blackberry mixture OVER batter.

4. Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until dough rises and is golden. Serve warm with cream.

Tips and Tricks

Yes.... the blackberry mixture goes over the batter.  It sounds different but it works great!
You can use frozen blackberries but they need to be thawed and drained.
