Ok so...with weather like this...




Today it is about 70* and overcast (hurray) so the logical thing to do was come home and bake a BLACKBERRY COBBLER!!!!!
I, being from up north, where the blackberries grow like weeds, love a good blackberry anything. So cobbler just seemed to work today.

   4  cups   fresh blackberries or raspberries 
   1  cup  sugar 
   1  Tablespoon cornstarch 
     1/2  teaspoon lemon juice
    1 cup  all-purpose flour
    2 teaspoons baking powder
      1/2  teaspoon salt 
     1/2  cup milk     
 1/4  cup butter or margarine -- melted
    1 egg 
 Heat oven to 375 degrees. Spread blackberries in ungreased 2 qt casserole. Reserve 1 teaspoon of the sugar. Mix remaining sugar, the cornstarch and lemon juice.  Drizzle cornstarch mixture over blackberries; stir gently.  Mix flour, baking powder and salt in medium bowl.  Stir in milk, margarine and egg.  Spread batter evenly over blackberries, sealing edge.  Sprinkle with reserved sugar  Bake 30-35 minutes or until topping is golden brown  . Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
