Boysenberry Cobbler

by Grandma Mallory

1 cube Butter
1 cup plus 4 tbsp Granulated Sugar; separated
1 cup All Purpose Flour
4 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Table Salt
¾ cup Milk
1/8 tsp Ground Cinnamon
½ tsp Lemon Juice
8 cups fresh Boysenberries
2 prepared Pie Crusts (pre-baked)

Melt butter into a 9”x13”x2” baking dish. In large bowl, combine and mix all dry ingredients. Add milk and lemon juice, and mix until well blended. Pour lemon mixture over melted butter in the baking dish. Next; evenly spread fresh boysenberries (include juice) on top of the batter, and sprinkle berries with 4 tbsp of sugar. Lay strips of dough across top of berries, in both directions, and seal ends with fingers moistened with Half & Half, or Heavy Cream (milk will do). Finally, sprinkle the top of the strips of dough with 1 tbsp sugar, and bake in a 350° oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and berries are tender when pricked with sharp knife.
(Before baking any fruit pie, place a piece of aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven to catch juice.)
