     2 tb Cornstarch


     1 tb Lemon juice


     1 c  Flour


   1/2 ts Salt


          Vanilla ice cream


 1 1/2 c  Sugar

     1 ts Baking powder


     6 tb Unsalted butter, cold, cut


          -into bits






 In a large bowl, stir together the cornstarch an 1/4 cup cold water until


 cornstarch is completely dissolved. Add 1 cup sugar, lemon juice, and


 blackberries, and combine the mixture gently but thoroughly. Transfer to an


 8-inch cast-iron skillet. In a bowl, combine well the flour, remaining


 sugar, baking powder, and salt. Blend in the butter until the mixture


 resembles coarse meal. Add 1/4 cup boiling water and stir the mixture until


 it just forms a dough. Bring the blackberry mixture to a boil on top of the


 stove, stirring. Drop spoonfuls of the dough carefully onto the boiling


 mixture, and bake the cobbler on a foil lined baking sheet in the middle of


 a preheated 400f oven for 20-25 minutes or until the topping is golden.
