My mother made the best cobblers whether it was blackberry, peach, blueberry or any other fruit. We four kids loved her cobblers. When we were kids we picked wild blackberries for mom to bake cobblers. Those prickly blackberry vines left us looking like we had been in a cat fight. In the end, it was so worth those scratches! This cobbler is not exactly like moms but close, maybe even a little better. I added lemon zest, extract and buttermilk rather than whole milk. Hope you enjoy!
