Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Set aside.
- Add the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, salt, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together.
- Add the butter to the flour mixture and stir lightly to mix.
- Stir the boiling water into the flour-butter mixture to melt the butter and create a thick dough. Set aside.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the cold water and cornstarch mixing to dissolve. Add the blackberries, the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Stir well to combine.
- Transfer the blackberry filling mixture to a 10-inch cast iron skillet (or 8x8 baking dish). Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the fruit filling is bubbly and the berries begin to soften (about 6-8 minutes). Remove the pan from the heat.
- Drop the batter by large spoonfuls onto the hot blackberry filling.
- Place the skillet (or baking pan) on the prepared baking sheet. Bake on the middle oven rack for 25 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Swap out the cane sugar with an equal amount of white granulated sugar.
- If using frozen berries, you may need to double the cornstarch (frozen berries give off much more liquid when cooked).
- Try adding about a teaspoon of grated lemon zest to the berry filling for an added fresh flavor.
- Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- To freeze, allow the cobbler to cool completely, then wrap tightly in a layer of plastic wrap followed by a layer of heavy-duty foil. Freeze for up to 4 months.
