Blackberry Cobbler

01Method

1. 1

   Combine blackberries, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, cinnamon, and cornstarch in a 9x9 baking dish. Toss until the berries are thoroughly coated. Allow the mixture to rest for 30 minutes so the sugar dissolves and the berries release their juices.

2. 2

   Heat the oven to 350°F.

3. 3

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using your fingers or a fork, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Form a well in the center and fold in the milk and egg until the dough is just barely combined.

4. 4

   Drop large spoonfuls of dough over the berry filling, distributing them across the surface like cobblestones.

5. 5

   Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the biscuit topping is golden brown. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
