Sherry's Easy Blackberry Cobbler

Sherry's Easy Blackberry Cobbler

Ingredients:
2 ½ cups fresh blackberries (do not use blueberries).
1 cup sugar
1 cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
½ cup (1 stick) butter (melted)
Whipped cream or ice cream, if desired

Directions:
1. In medium bowl, stir together blackberries, sugar & 1 cup of water. Let stand about 20 minutes. Heat oven to 350 degrees.

2. In large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt and milk just until mixed. Do not over mix. I put my dry ingredients through a sifter or strainer to get rid of any lumps. Stir in melted butter just until blended. Pour batter in an ungreased 8x4 baking dish. I use an 8x4 corning ware dish. The size of the dish does make a difference. Use a slotted spoon to spoon blackberries over batter. Do Not Stir. After you spoon the blackberries in, stir together the water and sugar that’s left in the bowl. It doesn’t matter if the sugar isn’t melted. Pour the liquid over the blackberries and batter. Do Not Stir. Nevermind what it looks like... Do Not Stir.

3. Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until dough rises and is light golden brown. Sprinkle sugar over cobbler and serve with vanilla ice cream.

*Mine comes out perfect every time... The size dish you bake the cobbler in makes a difference. It takes mine 55 to bake, it may take yours a little more or less depending on your oven.
