Ingredients:
* 1 cup butter or margarine, divided
* 1 cup sugar
* 1 cup water
* 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
* 1/3 cup milk, room temperature
* 2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 2 tablespoons sugar

Instructions:
In a 10-in. round or oval baking dish, melt 1/2 cup butter; set aside. In a saucepan, heat sugar and water until sugar melts; set aside. Place flour in a mixing bowl; cut in remaining butter until fine crumbs form. Add milk, stirring with a fork until dough leaves sides of bowl. Turn out onto a floured surface; knead three or four times. Roll out to an 11-in. x 9-in. rectangle 1/4 in. thick. Spread berries over dough; sprinkle with cinnamon. Roll up, jelly-roll style. Cut into 1/4-in. thick slices. Carefully lay slices in baking dish over butter. Pour sugar syrup around slices (syrup will be absorbed). Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes. Sprinkle sugar over top and bake 15 minutes more. Serve warm or cold. (*If self-rising flour is not available, use 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour plus 1/4 teaspoon salt and 2-1/4 teaspoons baking powder.)

Hot Mama Notes: I followed the recipe listed in my SIL's cookbook. It mentions the second 1/2 cup of butter melted, but then didn't didn't mention what to do with it, so I ended up not using it. :/. That's when I found the original recipe. However, despite the lack of butter, the cobbler turned out delicious! I think it might be better to mix the blackberries with the simple syrup. It wasn't really absorbed as mentioned. Anyway, I would make this recipe again. Very tasty. Also, I need to use a bigger pan. Maybe 9x9 square dish. The deep pie plate was not big enough, and the liquid overflowed onto the bottom of the oven. Bummer. Smokey smelly mess. :/. Also, I need to use more than 2 cups of fruit. Probably 2.5 to 3 cups. I used fresh fruit. Mainly blackberries, but also some blueberries and raspberries. :)
