Mom Spraggins's Blackberry Cobbler

You can use just about any kind of fresh berries you like. My favorite is the black and red raspberries.

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh blackberries, or more to taste
• 2 cups white sugar, divided
• 0.5 cup butter
• 0.75 cup milk
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. Mix blackberries and 1 cup sugar together in a bowl; let stand until mixture becomes juicy, 5 to 10 minutes.
3. Place butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish and put dish in the preheating oven until butter is melted, 2 to 5 minutes. Remove dish from oven.
4. Combine remaining 1 cup sugar, milk, flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl until batter is smooth; pour over melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon blackberry mixture over batter.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and cooked through, about 1 hour.
