Blackberry Cobbler With Best Ever Vinegar Crust
Ready In: 1 hr 20 mins
Serves: 12
Ingredients
FILLING
- 8 cups blackberries
- 2 1⁄2 cups sugar (2 to 3 cups, depending upon berry sweetness)
- 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
PASTRY (BEST EVER PIE CRUST)
- 3 cups flour
- 1 cup crisco vegetable shortening
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 egg
- 1⁄3 cup cold water
Directions
- Combine the 3 filling ingredients together and set aside.
- For the pastry, cut the shortening into flour and salt mixture, until mealy; beat the egg and mix with the vinegar and water; add to the flour mixture and stir with fork.
- Knead on a lightly floured board 3 or 4 times and roll out 2/3 of the dough into a rectangle to fit bottom and sides of a 7"x12 baking dish; ensure there are no leaks and seal tears with a little water if necessary.
- Put the berry mixture into the pastry shell.
- Roll out the rest of the dough to fit the top of the dish and cut vent holes or designs in the dough; place on the top and crimp the edges together.
- Brush the top with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake at 375°F for an hour or until center bubbles.
- For juicier cobbler, add a 1/2 cup water before the top goes on.
