Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 13

4-5 c fresh or frozen blackberries
1 c softened butter
1-1/2 c sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1 c milk
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 c sifted flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 c sugar
2 Tbsp cornstarch
3/4 c boiling water
whipped cream and lemon peel curls for garnish

Steps:

1. Heat oven to 375. Lightly spray a 9" x 13" baking pan w/ cooking spray. In a large bowl, cream the butter, 1-1/2 cups sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, milk and salt until well blended.
2. Stir in flour until just blended. Spoon blackberries into bottom of pan. Pour or spoon batter over berries. With a rubber spatula gently spread batter to cover berries.
3. In another bowl whisk together remaining sugar and the cornstarch. Sprinkle evenly over top of batter. Pour boiling water over cornstarch mix, evenly. Gently stir it up a bit. Bake for 40 minutes or until top is crispy looking, ( don't worry, the inside will be nice and soft.) I make my own whipped cream for this, which I top the cobbler slices with along w/ a sprinkling of lemon peel curls for garnish.
