Steps:
- Prepare a double crust pie pastry and refrigerate until needed.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside. Lightly grease an 8 or 9-inch casserole dish or oven-proof skillet with vegetable cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan mix together 1 cup of sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and boiling water. Bring the sugar mixture to a boil over medium heat. Boil 5 minutes stirring occasionally until thickened. Remove from the heat and add the blackberries and any accumulated juice. Stir gently until the blackberries release some juice. Set aside.
- Cut one of the pastry disks in half and roll out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8th inch thick. Cut the pastry into a square roughly the same size as the prepared pan. Reserve any pastry scraps. Place the pastry square on the parchment lined baking sheet and bake until firm, lightly browned with bubbles starting to form on the crust, about 10 minutes. This will be used for the middle layer of the cobbler. Set aside.
- While the pastry square is baking, roll out the remaining whole disk of dough to at least a 12x12-inch square, about ⅛ inch thick. Gently ease the dough into the prepared dish pressing gently into the corners without stretching. Trim the edges of the dough leaving a ½-inch overhang all the way around. This overhang will be folded up and over the lattice top. Collect any scraps of dough and put them together with the remaining ½ disc of pastry.
- Spoon half the blackberry mixture into the prepared pan. Top with the pre-baked pastry square, then add all the remaining blackberry mixture. Dot the blackberries with butter.
- Roll out the remaining dough to a 10-inch square (for 9-inch pan). Cut the dough into 8 or 10 strips and weave a lattice crust on top. Trim the excess dough to the same size as the overhang. Lightly dampen the top and bottom edges of the dough strips with a wet finger. Fold the excess overhang up and over the edges of the strips to seal. Crimp or seal the edges with a fork.
- Brush the pastry with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Place the baking pan on the parchment lined baking sheet to catch any juice that may bubble over. Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes then reduce the heat to 350°F and continue baking for about 45 to 55 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the juices are bubbling. If the crust is browning too quickly, tent the cobbler with foil as needed.
- Cool to room temperature or serve warm topped with ice cream or lightly sweeten cream if desired.

BLACKBERRY CORN COBBLER
This cobbler substitutes fresh, juicy kernels and corn milk for traditional heavy cream, taking advantage of the sweetness of seasonal corn and adding texture to a buttery crust. Grating two large ears of corn should produce enough liquid for the topping, but, if not, you can grate a third ear, or add cream or milk. The rich, crumbly crust also gets some of its moisture from the filling, which is extra syrupy from the mashed blackberries. Serve the cobbler warm with a splash of heavy cream, a dollop of coconut yogurt, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Finishing it all off with a drizzle of dark rum, while not necessary, is especially sweet.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees and grease the inside of a 9-by-9-inch square casserole dish with butter.
- In a medium bowl, toss the mashed blackberries with ⅔ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup flour, the lemon juice and ¼ teaspoon salt. Taste and add additional sugar, if necessary. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish in an even layer and set aside.
- Using a box grater, grate the corn over a bowl to collect its meat and milk; discard the corn cobs or reserve for another use. Transfer corn mixture to a liquid measuring cup. (The grated corn mixture should measure a healthy ¾ cup; if not, supplement with extra corn, heavy cream or milk.) Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 1¼ cups flour, ⅓ cup granulated sugar with the cornmeal, baking powder and ¾ teaspoon salt. Add the cubed butter, separating the cubes and tossing them individually to coat. Pressing the bits of butter between your thumb and the side of your index finger, break up the butter into the flour until evenly dispersed and butter pieces are roughly the size of peas.
- Slowly pour the grated corn over the flour mixture, and, working gently with your hands, begin tossing everything together until the ingredients form a cohesive dough. Crumble the batter over the surface of the berries, and using a pastry brush, brush the top generously with the heavy cream. Sprinkle the batter evenly with the turbinado sugar.
- Place the baking dish on a sheet pan to catch any potential overflow, transfer to the oven and bake until the crust is golden and the blackberries are bubbling and thick, 35 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
MAMA'S BLACKBERRY COBBLER
Alabama has some tasty fresh blackberries. Decades ago, my mama was heading out to pick blackberries to make a cobbler, but she ended up going to the hospital to have me instead. This is her mama's recipe. The blackberries start on top, but then end up tucked under a golden brown crust after it's baked. -Lisa Allen, Joppa, Alabama

Tips:
- Use fresh blackberries: Fresh blackberries yield the best flavor and texture for this cobbler. If you can't find fresh blackberries, frozen blackberries can be used as a substitute. Just thaw them before using.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cobbler tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a biscuit mix: A biscuit mix makes the cobbler easy to prepare. You can also use a homemade biscuit recipe, if you prefer.
- Bake the cobbler until the biscuits are golden brown: The biscuits should be golden brown and cooked through before you remove the cobbler from the oven.
- Serve the cobbler warm: Blackberry cobbler is best served warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Aunt Cora's blackberry cobbler is a classic Southern dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
