Blackberry Cobbler

Directions

In a large bowl, stir together the cornstarch and ¼ cup cold water until cornstarch is completely dissolved.

Add 1 cup of the 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 ¼ 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 to 25 minutes or until the topping is golden.

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
