- 4 cup berries, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch or tapioca
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 10 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 6 tablespoons cold butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 beaten eggs
- extra sugar to sprinkle on top(optional)
Instructions
Step 1
In a large <a href="/7S3QCKWK">mixing </a>bowl, gently <a href="/S6W4FR7F">blend </a>the blackberries with sugar and cornstarch/tapioca.
Step 2
In another large <a href="/7S3QCKWK">mixing </a>bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, <a href="/HF7TLMS7">baking powder,</a> and <a href="/DPSVTKVY">salt.</a>
Step 3
<a href="/XZBDDD5G">Cut </a>the butter into the flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
In a <a href="/WRFN6T6X">separate </a>bowl, combine heavy <a href="/R3P5MM3Z">cream </a>with the beaten eggs.
Step 5
Add the cream-egg mixture to the flour-butter mixture.
Step 6
<a href="/DRM2WPZ4">Stir </a>just to moisten; do not over <a href="/DRM2WPZ4">stir.</a>
Step 7
Pour berry mixture into a <a href="/RNT367Z2">baking </a><a href="/QQVZX64Y">dish.</a>
Step 8
<a href="/RNT367Z2">Bake </a>at 400 degrees for 20 minutes to get the berries partially cooked and <a href="/LXP6HLBF">thickened.</a>
Step 9
This prevents the <a href="/Z54SB3JY">biscuits </a>from absorbing the <a href="/QDWRNXYW">juice </a>before they're fully <a href="/RNT367Z2">baked.</a>
Step 10
Remove the hot berries from the oven and <a href="/NX588QBK">spoon </a>cobbler <a href="/Z54SB3JY">biscuits </a>on <a href="/R34ZSY3M">top </a>in nice-sized mounds.
Step 11
Sprinkle the <a href="/Z54SB3JY">biscuits </a>liberally with sugar.
Step 12
<a href="/B52FHCF2">Turn </a>the oven temperature down to 375 degrees and <a href="/RNT367Z2">bake </a>for another 20 - 30 minutes on the lowest rack to prevent the<a href="/Z54SB3JY"> biscuit</a><a href="/R34ZSY3M"> topping</a> from burning.
Step 13
You want the <a href="/Z54SB3JY">biscuits </a>to cook completely and slowly, so check on this when you pull out the cobbler. If the bottoms of the<a href="/Z54SB3JY"> biscuits</a> are not cooked enough, place it back in the oven to cook for another 10 minutes and check again.
Step 14
Also note that the <a href="/QDWRNXYW">juices </a>will continue to <a href="/LXP6HLBF">thicken </a>up by the next day.
Step 15
<a href="/Y6MVNCHX">Serve </a>with your favorite <a href="/RP8LCDPZ">ice </a><a href="/R3P5MM3Z">cream!</a>
