Skillet Blackberry Cobbler

Skillet Blackberry Cobbler

This cobbler is extremely easy to prepare. I put it in the oven right before I serve dinner. We get to smell it while we are eating, and it’s ready when we are done with dinner. Serve it warm with vanilla ice cream.

Prep time

45 min

Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup white sugar, divided
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold butter
  • ¼ cup boiling water
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ¼ cup cold water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 4 cups fresh blackberries, rinsed and drained
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400˚. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

In a large bowl, mix the flour, ½ cup sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ¼ cup boiling water just until mixture is evenly moist.

In a separate bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in cold water. Mix in remaining ½ cup sugar, lemon juice and blackberries. Transfer to a cast iron skillet, and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Drop dough into the skillet by spoonfuls. 

Place the skillet on the foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until the dough is golden brown.
