This cobbler is from central Texas, and seems to be different from the crusty or crumbly-topped cobblers found elsewhere in the US. This is more like a buttery cake filled with blackberries. You can also use peaches for this recipe - they're perfect too.

The crust tastes better if you let the butter brown a little bit. Salted butter gives it a nice flavor on the crust, but if you don’t use salted butter, it’s no major loss.

Step 4	Combine the sugar, flour, baking powder, milk and salt quickly and pour into the baking pan with the melted butter.
Step 5	Spoon the berries in clumps over the batter making islands of berries.
