Blackberry Cobbler
4 C blackberries
¾ C sugar
3 T flour
1 ½ C water
1 T lemon juice
2 T melted butter
Pastry:
1 ¾ C all-purpose flour
2 T sugar
2 t baking powder
1 t salt
¼ C shortening
6 T heavy whipping cream
6 T buttermilk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the berries in a lightly greased 2-quart baking dish. Combine the sugar and flour. Add the water and lemon juice, mixing well. Pour this mixture over the berries; bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes while preparing the pastry. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees.
Pastry: Combine the dry ingredients. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs; stir in the whipping cream and buttermilk. Knead the dough 4 or 5 times, then roll to about ¼ inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough to fit the baking dish. Place the pastry over the hot berries, then brush with melted butter. Cut a few vents in the top of the pastry with a knife. Bake at 425 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Serve warm.
