Dreamy Cobbler

Okay, I just had to post this recipe for blackberry/peach cobbler. I got it off the internet the other night because the girls had been blackberry picking and my sister-in-law had brought us a bunch of fresh peaches. It was so good and easy that I had to share.

1 c. all purpose flour
1 1/2 c. white sugar, divided
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
6 T. cold butter
1/4 c. boiling water
2 T. cornstarch
1/4 c. cold water
1 T. lemon juice
2 c. fresh blackberries
2 c. fresh peaches, peeled and pitted (you could use 4 cups of whatever fruit you want)


1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2. In large bowl, mix flour, 1/2 c. sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 1/4 c. boiling water just until mixture is evenly moist.
3. In separate bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in cold water. Mix in remaining cup sugar, lemon juice, and fruit. Transfer to a cast iron skillet, (I just used our heavy skillet), and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Drop dough into the skillet by spoonfuls. Place skillet on the foil-lined baking sheet.
4. Bake 25 minutes in the oven, until dough is golden brown.
