Serves 6

If you make this in a 10-inch baking dish, allow 40 minutes for the cobbler to bake.

2 pints fresh blackberries or blueberries

1 cup sugar

1 cup flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted and cooled but still liquid

1. Set the oven at 425 degrees. Have on hand a 10-inch cast-iron skillet.

2. In the skillet over medium heat, combine the blackberries or blueberries and ½ cup of the sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes until fruit begins to pop.

3. In a bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt to blend them. Stir in the remaining ½ cup sugar, milk, and melted butter until smooth. Pour it over the blueberries.

4. Bake the cobbler for 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden. Serve warm with ice cream.
