Ingredients: 2
tablespoons
Cornstarch 1 1/2
cups
Sugar 1
tablespoon
Lemon juice 4
cups
Blackberries 1
cup
Flour 1
teaspoon
Baking powder 1/2
teaspoon
Salt 6
tablespoons
Unsalted butter,
cut in 1/2" cubes
Vanilla ice cream
Directions:
In a large bowl, stir together the cornstarch an 1/4 cup cold water until cornstarch is completely dissolved. Add 1 cup sugar, lemon juice, and blackberries, and combine the mixture gently but thoroughly. Transfer to an 8-inch cast-iron skillet. In a bowl, combine well the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt. Blend in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 1/4 cup boiling water and stir the mixture until it just forms a dough. Bring the blackberry mixture to a boil on top of the stove, stirring. Drop spoonfuls of the dough carefully onto the boiling mixture, and bake the cobbler on a foil lined baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 400f oven for 20-25 minutes or until the topping is golden.
