This scrumptious cobbler is a fabulous way to top off a summer or autumn meal, and an excellent bring-along for seasonal parties. The gooey, sweet-n'-tart blackberry filling combines with the deliciously crumbly crust to make a to-die-for dessert that finishes any feast with a perfect splash of sweetness. The light splash of lemon juice in the filling brings out the ripe, full-bodied flavor of the blackberries. Dollops of dough added to the fruit mixture will fill up even the most insatiable of guests. Serve it warm with a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream to A real crowd pleaser!

1. In a large bowl, stir together the cornstarch an 1/4 cup cold water until cornstarch is completely dissolved.

2. Add 1 cup sugar, lemon juice, and blackberries, and combine the mixture gently but thoroughly. Transfer to an 8-inch cast-iron skillet.

3. In a bowl, combine well the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt. Blend in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 1/4 cup boiling water and stir the mixture until it just forms a dough.

4. Bring the blackberry mixture to a boil on top of the stove, stirring. Drop spoonfuls of the dough carefully onto the boiling mixture, and bake the cobbler on a foil lined baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 400 F oven for 20-25 minutes or until the topping is golden. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
