4 c. all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. salt
1 c. cold shortening
_ c. cold water
1 egg
1 tbsp. vinegar
Filling:
8 c. fresh or frozen blackberries (If using frozen
berries, do not thaw)
2 c. sugar
_ c. all-purpose flour
Half-and-half cream (I don't bother with this, but it would make
a prettier cobbler)
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt; cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a bowl, combine water, egg and vinegar; stir into flour mixture just until moistened. Form into a roll. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
On a floured surface, roll two-thirds of the dough into an 18-in. x 14-in. rectangle. Carefully place onto the bottom and up the sides of a 13-in. x 9-in.x 2-in. glass baking dish.
Combine the berries, sugar
and flour; pour into crust. Roll out the remaining dough and make
lattice strips; place over the filling. Brush pastry with cream.
Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes; reduce heat to 350 degrees.
Bake about 1 hour longer or until bubbly. Cool completely. Store
in refrigerator.
Yield:12-16 servings.
