Blackberry Skillet Cobbler

tastythursdayjpg.jpg

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
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 cups fresh blackberries, rinsed and drained

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter.

3.Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4.Stir in 1/4 cup boiling water and combine just until mixture is evenly moist.

5. In a separate bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the cold water until dissolved.

6.Whisk in remaining 1 cup sugar and lemon juice.

7. Then add the blackberries and very gently combine

8. Transfer to a cast iron skillet and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Allow to boil 2 minutes, still stirring frequently.

9.Drop dough into the skillet at random by spoonfuls.

10. Bake 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until dough is golden brown.

We like to eat this warm with vanilla ice cream. Hope you enjoy it!

    Yummy! Could this be done in a non-cast iron skillet? I wish I had one but don’t so would have to improvise :-)
    Also, do you think if I made this with blueberries and blackberries…it would work?

    Oh, it looks so good and I am looking for a way to use up my blueberries and blackberries:-)

    Blessings,
    Sommer

    As long as the skillet is oven safe it will work.
    I’m sure blueberries will work in there too. I’ve actually thought about substituting them, or doing a peach version as well with just a couple spice modifications.
    I make blueberry pie every year with our harvest. If that sounds good to you, the link is Here.

    This looks yummy.. .I think you can wrap a skillet’s handle in aluminum foil and use it in the oven.

    I don’t think I’ve ever baked with blackberries. That looks good.

    How awesome! It makes my tummy rumble… It’s so funny that you’ve been to the only 2 places that I have been on my list with weird names - Intercourse and Blue Ball… My husband’s family is from the Lancaster area, so we travel through a lot of these towns. Thanks for a great recipe.

    Great photos.! My mouth is watering, and I’m imagining a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream slowly melting into the cobbler. Looks yummy! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

    You are the queen of making things I don’t think I would like look delicious! BUT, if I could substitute with blueberries, now we’re talking yummy!

    I haven’t made blackberry cobbler in a LONG time. This looks so good, it’s really making me wish I still had blackberries growing in my back yard! Great photos!
