Blackberry Cobbler
with Corn
(6 servings)

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Grated zest of one lemon
  • 4 cups Sun Belle blackberries
  • 1 cup unbleached flour
  • 3/4 cup medium to coarse ground corn meal
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup oil or melted butter
  • 1/2 cup super sweet corn kernels (fresh, canned or frozen)
  1. Have all ingredients at room temperature.
  2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  3. Mix cornstarch with 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and lemon zest. Toss in blackberries and transfer to a 9-inch shallow baking dish.
  4. Whisk together flour, corn meal, baking powder and salt in one bowl. In second bowl whisk together 1 teaspoon lemon juice, egg yolk, milk, 1/4 cup sugar, oil or butter. Pour wet ingredients into dry and blend together with just a few strokes of the whisk. Stir in corn kernels to batter.
  5. Spoon batter over blackberry mix to cover evenly.
  6. Bake for 30-40 minutes – or until a toothpick comes out clean from the batter. Cool down but serve warm.

Psst: Substitute 4 cups of Sun Belle blueberries for the blackberries to make Blueberry Cobbler with Corn.
