Old-time Blackberry Cobbler

Ingredients:

Filling:

• 7 cups blackberries
• 2 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp. salt

Crust

• 1 stick cold butter, cut into pieces
• 2 cups flour
• 6-8 tbsp. ice water
• 1 tbsp. sugar

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9×13 baking dish and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the filling ingredients. Stir well and pour into the baking dish.

For the crust, in a large mixing bowl, combine the cold butter and flour. Using 2 forks, a pastry blender or your hands work the mixture until it resembles small beads. Add enough of the ice water to help the mixture form a dough, but not so much it gets sticky. Pat into a disc, then place on a well-floured surface, rolling out gently with a floured rolling pin into a rectangle about 1⁄4 inch thick. Gently lift and place on the baking dish. Sprinkle with sugar.

Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
