Blackberry cobbler. A sure thing.

You know when life gets you down, when the hits just keep on coming and you wonder when or if things will ever get back to normal. When you've got so many things swirling and circling through the forefront of your mind that you need an extra day just to compartmentalize it all.

When you're having one of those days make this:

Blackberry Cobbler. It may not be the solution to all your problems, but it will make you feel better, if only for the amount of time it takes to eat the whole dish. By yourself.

Here is what you will need:

1 stick Butter
1 & 1/4 cup Sugar
1 cup Self-Rising Flour
1 cup Milk
2 cups Blackberries*

(i had some left over raspberries that I threw in there too!)

Add 1 cup of sugar and flour to a mixing bowl, whisk in milk. Mix well. Add melted butter and whisk it all together

Butter a baking dish and pour batter into the buttered baking dish. This pie plate was not the proper dish, much too small. Don't make the same mistake!


lovingly sprinkle blackberries (and raspberries!) over the top of the batter; distributing evenly. Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar over the top.
Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 1 hour, or until golden and bubbly.

"What I love about cooking is that after a hard day, there is something comforting about the fact that if you melt butter and add flour and then hot stock, it will get thick! It's a sure thing! It's a sure thing in a world where nothing is sure; it has a mathematical certainty in a world where those of us who long for some kind of certainty are forced to settle for crossword puzzles." — Nora Ephron
