I made a wonderful cobbler a couple of weeks ago and wanted to let you in on it. To see the original recipe, you can go to the Pioneer Woman's website Here. I did double the amount of blackberries. I was using frozen blackberries and 2 cups just looked skimpy so I used the whole bag from Wal-Mart. It was just the right amount in my opinion.
For those of you that have been around our family for at least the last three years, you may remember the story of Whitney cooking her first meal for Matt when they had just started dating. She made peach cobbler by a recipe almost identical (our family recipe doesn't use self rising flour - it uses regular flour and baking powder and salt). When you read salt, surely you remember the salt story! haha The recipe called for 1/2 teaspoon of salt. She was doubling the recipe so that would have been 1 teaspoon to most people. But to Whitney's inexperienced cooking self, that turned out to be 1 CUP of salt. The logic behind that was that everything else was in cups so she was thinking cups instead of teaspoons. Was she just a little nervous or what?!?!!? Needless to say, the cobbler was thrown out and I made them another one while they went to the movies that night. That wasn't the end of the story. For one of their wedding showers, they had a stock the pantry shower. Well, each hostess brought her salt as a gift (along with a lot of other wonderful things to cook with.) She still, 3 years later, has salt in her pantry!
By the way, this recipe can be used with peaches and is absolutely wonderful too! Nothing like Southern cooking. Thanks Pioneer Woman!
