Blackberry Cobbler

This recipe is very similar to the one found in "The Pioneer Woman Cooks" by Ree Drummond, which is one of my most favorite cookbooks!

Ingredients:
-1 stick of butter
-1 1/4 plus 2 tbsp sugar
-1 cup milk. We don't keep fresh milk in the house so I use powdered milk and it works just fine.
-2 cups berries. We use fresh picked blackberries and clean them well in a colander. Be sure to let them drip dry.
-1 cup flour
-1/2 tsp salt
-1 1/2 tsp baking powder

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F and grease a pie pan or 3qt baking dish.
2. Melt the butter. If you aren't experienced with this, do it on a low power setting in small time intervals or it will EXPLODE and make a huge mess. Also, you only need to melt it about 85% of the way and let it sit on the counter. The rest will melt on its own.
3. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder. We don't own a sifter so I just mix them together in a large bowl thoroughly.
4. Whisk the milk and 1 cup of sugar with the flour mixture.
5. Whisk in the butter. Pour into your baking dish.
6. Add in the berries.
7. Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar over the top (it's going to seem like a lot but trust me!) and bake for 50-60 minutes until golden brown. 10 minutes before it's done cooking, top with the last 2 tablespoons of sugar and return to oven.
8. Eat alone or with ice cream!
