Best Blackberry Cobbler
- Filling
- 5 cups blackberries
- 3 cups sugar
- 3 tablespoons butter
- Dumplings
- 2 cups sifted flour
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 teaspoons water (a bit more could be necessary depending on your flour)
- Crust
- 1 (16 ounce) box refrigerated pillsbury ready crust pie dough
- Place filling ingredients in a pot and barely cover with water and bring to a boil.
- Place first three dumpling ingredients in a bowl. Cut shortening into flour using pastry cutter, forks or your hands until it resembles course meal.
- Add water one teaspoon at a time until dough holds together in a ball and does not crumble when pressed.
- Flour a work surface and roll out dumpling dough to about 1/4 - 1/8 inch thick and cut into squares.
- Drop dumplings into berry filling and cook 30 minutes. Make sure to stir when dropping in dumplings so they don't stick together.
- Pour filling into a 4 quart rectangle baking dish.
- Roll out pre-made crusts and place over berries. *Most pre-made pie crust boxes come with 2 single crusts. You will need both crusts and trim the extra off. If you have the patience you can create a lattice crust using the pre-made dough for a pretty presentation.
- Bake your cobbler according to the Pillsbury Ready Crust box directions.
- This recipe can be halved or 2 smaller cobblers made by using two 2 quart dishes and using one pre-made crust per cobbler.
