Blackberry Cobbler Recipe

0 Preheat oven to 375°.
1 In a 10 – inch cast iron skillet, stir together the blackberries, brown sugar, orange juice, vanilla extract, cardamom and orange peel over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer, and cook until juice is released from blackberries and mixture is hot and bubbly, approximately 10 minutes.
2 In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 3 tablespoons water. Slowly add to berry mixture, stirring to combine. Cook until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
3 In a medium bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add butter. Combine with fingertips until crumbly. Add cream and stir gently until biscuit like dough forms.
4 Tear dough into 3-inch round pieces: arrange over berries. Sprinkle with sanding sugar.
5 Bake until topping is lightly browned, 30 minutes.
