Cast Iron Cobbler With Louisiana Blackberries And Sassy Sauce Recipes

CAST IRON BLACKBERRY COBBLER RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400.
• Add 1 cup sugar, 4 cups blackberries and cornstarch that dissolved in cold water to a large ovenproof skillet (like a cast iron or coated cast iron pan).

• Boil blackberries for 2-3 minutes until sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat.
• In a mixing bowl, add flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, tsp of baking powder, salt and mix well.
• Add butter ( I find it easier to cut butter into tablespoons) and use a pastry blender to cut in butter until mixture is small and crumbly.
• Add boiling water and mix just until combined, being careful not to over mix.
• Spoon dollops of dough onto the top of the blackberries.
• Sprinkle top of dough with coarse sugar (Note that its fine to sprinkle the whole pan with sugar if you like)
• Bake cobbler for 20-25 minutes or until brown on top.
• Remove from oven and let stand until cooled a bit and serve as is or over vanilla ice cream.
