How to Make Best In The West Berry Cobbler
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
- Spread 4 cups of mixed berries evenly in the prepared pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup softened shortening and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with 1 cup of milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. The batter will be thick.
- Carefully spread the batter evenly over the berries in the pan.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.
- Slowly pour 1/2 cup of boiling water over the top of the cobbler. Do not stir.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream (optional).
