Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
This is one of the few recipes that my wife (who doesn't cook)
Makes, and it is indeed very good.
4 cups Fresh blackberries
¾ cup + 2 Tbsp sugar
3 tablespoons + 1 3/4 c flour
1½ cup Water
1 tablespoon Lemon juice
2 teaspoons Baking powder
1 teaspoon Salt
¼ cup Shortening
6 tablespoons Whipping cream
6 tablespoons Buttermilk or sour milk
2 tablespoons Butter, melted
Cream & sugar (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place berries in a lightly greased 2-quart baking dish. Combine ¾ c sugar and 3 Tbsp flour; add water and lemon juice, mixing well. Pour syrup over berries; bake about 15 minutes while preparing the pastry. Make pastry by combining 1¾ c flour, 2 Tbsp sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; stir in whipping cream and buttermilk. Knead dough 4 or 5 times; roll to about ¼" thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut dough to fit baking dish. Raise oven temperature to 425. Place pastry over hot berries; brush with melted butter. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown.

Serve cobbler warm with cream and sugar. Serves 8 Southern Living Magazine
