Black Berry and Peach Cobbler Lullabell Austin Recipe

We enjoyed Peach Cobbler on Easter Sunday when Kelly, Paul, & Milo came for lunch.

July 4th was always Blackberry Cobbler Day
Usually the blackberries come into season at the Nashville Farmers Market around July 4th. Lullabell would always make us cobbler for our neighborhood celebration. The cake like topping is a version of the Peach Cobbler recipe posted earlier.

For the peach version we use a large can of peaches with juice, mixed with a can of peach pie filling, and 1/2 cup water.

Fruit for the Cobbler

Cook fruit with sugar for a few minutes to make juice:
2 cups blackberries or other fruit
1-cup sugar

Put the butter in the pan and place in the microwave to melt.
1 stick butter (1/2 cup)

Pan to use: for the blackberry pie with a small amount of fruit use a 10 x10 glass pan--for the peach version with a lot of fruit use an 11 x 14 inch pan. Put the cobbler pan in a bigger shallow baking pan to catch any drips. This will be much easier to clean than drips that get baked on the oven floor.

Batter for Cobbler

Mix well the following for the batter:
1-cup plain flower
2 tsp. baking powder
¾ cups sugar
¾ cups milk
Pinch salt

Pour the batter into the melted butter in the pan. Do not stir. Pour the cooked berry mixture into the middle of the batter. The fruit will spread out under the batter forming a cake like topping.
