Blackberry Cobbler for 10 Servings

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large bowl, gently toss the fresh blackberries with 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and 1/4 tsp salt.
3. Pour the berry mixture directly into a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, spreading the berries evenly.
4. In the same bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt.
5. Stir in the milk until just combined, ensuring flour streaks disappear but avoiding over-mixing.
6. Slowly fold in the melted butter until the batter is thick but pourable.
7. Carefully dollop the batter over the berries, spreading it slightly with a spoon while leaving small gaps for juices to bubble through.
8. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is mahogany-colored and the filling is vigorously bubbling around the edges.
