I ate an entire 9 x 13 pan of blackberry cobbler in less than 24 hours.
It was that good. Chewy, buttery crust, gooey blackberries...
In the mood to binge eat the world's best cobbler? You too can eat yourself into oblivion by following a few simple steps.
1. Pick a bowl of wild blackberries with your 3-year-old. Talk about pollination, the meaning of the word jealous, and whether or not Spiderman has a penis. (Really, I am not equipped to handle the questions of a 3-year-old.)
2. Put the baby on a blanket in the grass and watch her wave her chubby fists at the sky and talk to trees. Make goo-goo noises and cluck your tongue at her.
3. Bring berries and children inside and turn the oven to 350.
4. Put a stick of butter in a 9 x 13 pan and put butter and pan in the heating oven.
5. In a large bowl combine 2 cups self-rising flour, 2 cups white sugar, and 2 cups milk. Stir until combined. Will be lumpy.
6. Take the 9 x 13 pan out of the oven when the butter is melted. Pour the lumpy batter on top of it. Do not mix them together.
7. Feed your 3-year-old blackberries in manner of mama and baby bird. He will reciprocate and laugh maniacally when he feeds you a blackberry with a little spider on it.
8. Pretend that you don't care that you just ate a spider.
9. Sprinkle 3-4 cups of blackberries on top of the batter.
10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until golden brown.
Enjoy! I recommend eating it directly out of the pan with a spoon while small people pull at your yoga pants and demand things. Delicious.
