Blackberry Cobbler

Ingredients:

3 c. fresh blackberries
3/4 c. sugar
3 Tbs. flour
1 1/2 c. water
1 Tbs. lemon juice
Crust (recipe follows)
2 Tbs. butter, melted

Directions:

Place berries in a lightly greased shallow 2 qt. baking dish. Combine sugar and flour; stir in water and lemon juice. Pour mixture over berries, and bake at 425 for 15 minutes.
Place crust over hot berries, brush with butter. Bake at 425 for 20 to 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

CRUST
1 3/4 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
2-3 Tbs. sugar
1/4 c. shortening
1/4 c. plus 2 Tbs. whipping cream
1/4 c. plus 2 Tbs. buttermilk
Combine first 4 ingredients. Cut in shortening with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal; stir in whipping cream and buttermilk. Knead dough 4 or 5 times; roll out on lightly floured surface. Cut dough to fit baking dish. Makes crust for 1 cobbler.
I like to add a little cinnamon to this mix.

Makes 6-8 Servings
