Blackberry Cobbler

Ingredients: 

For Blackberry Filling:

• 6 cups fresh blackberries
• 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
• 1/2 lemon, zested, juiced
• 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• pinch of kosher salt

For the cobbler:

• 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
• 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cubed
• 1/4 cup whole milk
• 2 large eggs
• sugar, for sprinkling
• Vanilla ice cream, for serving

A few notes on making this: 

• Blackberries are so juicy and plentiful during the summer months—this is a perfect dessert to enjoy them at their best. 
• This can be made in any oven-proof dish but use a cast-iron skillet if you have one. 
• Don’t forget the vanilla ice cream to serve with it! 

Directions: 

• Arrange a rack in center of oven and preheat to 350ºF.
• Make filling:
  In a large bowl, toss blackberries, granulated sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, cornstarch, vanilla, and salt. 
• Let rest for 30 minutes.
• Make cobbler while filling sits:
• In another large bowl, whisk flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. 
• Work butter in with your fingertips or a pastry cutter until combined.
• Stir in milk and 1 egg until just combined—don’t overmix. 
• Transfer blackberry filling to a 10" ovenproof skillet or dish and top with dollops of dough.
• In a small bowl, beat 1 egg with a splash of water. 
• Brush dough with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake cobbler until biscuit topping is deeply golden and blackberry mixture bubbly, about 45 minutes.
• Let cool 10 minutes.
• Serve with vanilla ice cream.
