Blackberry Cobbler

	4 cups blackberries, fresh
	3/4 cup sugar
	3 tablespoons flour
	1 1/2 cups water
	1 tablespoon lemon juice
	2 tablespoons butter, melted
	1 3/4 cups flour
	2 tablespoons sugar
	2 teaspoons baking powder
	1 teaspoons salt
	1/4 cup shortening
	6 tablespoons whipping cream
	6 tablespoons buttermilk or sour milk

Place berries in a lightly greased 2 quart baking dish. Combine sugar and flour; add water and lemon juice, mixing well. Pour syrup over berries; bake at 350 degrees about 15 minutes while preparing the pastry.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; stir in whipping cream and buttermilk. Knead dough 4 or 5 times, roll to about 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut dough to fit baking dish.

Place pastry over hot berries; brush with melted butter. Bake at 425 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown.

Serve cobbler warm with cream and sugar.
