Description

This blackberry cobbler recipe uses fresh blackberries and makes a buttery biscuit topping with pantry ingredients for a fabulous summer dessert.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups white sugar, divided
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold butter
1/4 cup boiling water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
4 cups fresh blackberries, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

1 Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2 Mix flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in boiling water just until the mixture is evenly moist.
3 Dissolve cornstarch in cold water in a separate bowl. Mix in remaining 1 cup sugar, blackberries, and lemon juice. Transfer to a cast iron skillet and bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
4 Drop in spoonfuls of dough, then place the skillet onto the prepared baking sheet.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until dough is golden brown, about 25 minutes.
6 Enjoy!
