Susan Tesch' Blackberry Cobbler
2 pkgs of our frozen blackberries 1 cup milk
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice 1/3 cup butter, softened
2 cups unbleached all purpose flour 2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg 1 tsp salt, divided
¼ tsp ground mace 2 tbsp cornstarch
½ tsp vanilla extract 1 ½ cup boiling water
3 cups sugar, divided (or to taste)
Preheat oven to 350. Spread blackberries in a 9x13x2 baking dish. Drizzle
with lemon juice. In medium bowl combine flour, nutmeg, mace, vanilla, 1 ½
cups sugar, milk, butter, baking powder and ½ tsp salt. Spoon over berries
and spread in even layer. In small bowl combine remaining sugar, cornstarch
and remaining salt. Sprinkle over cobbler. Pour boiling water evenly over
top. Bake 1 hour or until golden brown and shiny. Check often for bubbling
over. I place an old tin pan under the baking dish to catch the drips.
