Magical Blackberry Cobbler

This easy recipe makes a sweet cobbler that screams out for a scoop of vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt. And get this, even though the blackberries start out on the top of the crust batter when you place it in the oven, they are slowly but surely surrounded by the crust by the end of baking time. The baking powder is responsible for this magical event.

1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup milk
3 cups fresh blackberries

Melt butter and pour into a 2 quart casserole dish. Combine thoroughly the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk in a small mixing bowl. Pour the mixture over the melted butter without stirring. Place blackberries on top of the batter. Bake at 350°F. for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
