Hillbilly Berry Cobbler Recipe 55

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in oven proof casserole dish in oven while mixing ingredients. Place one tablespoon butter on top of berries in a small bowl. Pour 1/2 cup sugar over berries, stir. Heat in microwave for 1 minute so that sugar begins to melt. Mix together 1 cup flour and 1 cup sugar until blended. Pour in 1 cup milk and mix until blended. After butter is melted, take casserole out of oven and pour batter on top of melted butter. Pour berries on top of batter. DO NOT STIR! Sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar over cobbler. Place in 350 degree oven. Cook for 55 minutes or until golden.

Steps:

• Spread berries in a greased 8 inch square pan.
• Cream shortening and 3/4 cup sugar well.
• Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together.
• Add alternately with milk to creamed mixture. Batter will be thick.
• Spread batter over berries.
• Combine remaining sugar and cornstarch together then sprinkle evenly over batter. *NOTE* This is a juicy cobbler but if you want the berries and sauce to be thicker add an extra 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to the remaining sugar.
• Pour boiling water over all. Do not mix.
• Bake at 350* for 30-45 minutes, until golden brown and toothpick inserted into middle comes out clean. Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or ice cream if desired. (Doubled recipe fits into a 9x13 pan, but must bake 20-30 mins longer than normal).
