Kitchen Equipment Needed:

1. Baking dish (9×13 inches)
2. Mixing bowls
3. Measuring cups and spoons
4. Pastry cutter or fork
5. Spoon or spatula for mixing

Ingredients:

• 6 cups fresh blackberries
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
• 1/4 cup boiling water
• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
2. Prepare Blackberries: In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the fresh blackberries with 1 cup of granulated sugar and lemon juice. Allow the berries to sit for about 15 minutes to macerate.
3. Make Biscuit Topping: In another mixing bowl, combine the flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Assemble Cobbler: Spread the macerated blackberries evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the biscuit topping mixture over the blackberries.
5. Add Boiling Water: Carefully pour the boiling water over the biscuit topping. This will help create a delicious crust.
6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blackberry filling is bubbling.
7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
