Cooking Notes
A great cobbler recipe. This is one of the very best of the many I've tried--easy, and flavorful. (If you don't have self-rising flour, substitute 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder and 1/4 tsp. salt.) I added grated lemon zest to the blackberries, and 1 tsp. ground cardamom, in addition to the ginger. I was in a hurry, so made the dough mixture into small patties and put them on top of the blackberries. The texture is crunchy, contrasting with the plump berries.
I made this exactly as instructed. Absolutely delicious. Used a deep dish pie pan. Perfect mix of sweet and tart flavors.
