Blackberry Cobbler

Passing on a recipe (a first for the blog). We have all loved this cobbler which the boys call blackberry gobbler and goes perfect with vanilla ice cream when it is just warm from the oven.
Adapted from an allrecipes.com recipe.
1/4 c butter
1 c self-rising flour
1 c white sugar
1 c milk
2 c blackberries

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in 8 X 8 pan. Stir together flour, sugar and milk; pour into baking pan. Do not mix the butter and the flour mix together. Drop blackberries into batter. Bake until golden. Delicious, quick and I always have the ingredients on hand. I bet you could do this with blueberries too. I would say we could use the wild huckleberries from our woods, but I don't believe in huckleberries. Who would name a berry huckleberry--- that's ridiculous.
The blackberry jam I attempted yesterday turned out not great with all three kids refusing it after the initial tasting and I was not impressed either. Too sweet. Thinking of experimenting with mixing it into plain yogurt to see if it can be eaten that way.
love and hugs, B
PS The map feature was removed. Seeing where people were logging in from was interesting, but there was also a creepy element to it. Me watching you watching me. Good-bye map feature.
