Blackberry Cobbler

Filling
2 lbs fresh blackberries
1 cup, plus 2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp orange zest
Juice of one orange
Pinch of salt

Dough
1¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp granulated sugar
½ tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
½ stick, plus 2 tbsp cold butter
¾ cup heavy cream, plus 4 tbsp more for brushing

To prepare the filling, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toss all the ingredients in a medium bowl and let macerate for 10 minutes. For the dough, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the heavy cream and mix until a sticky dough develops, set aside. Divide blackberries into 6 8-ounce ramekins. Divide the dough into 6 portions and flatten with your hands. Arrange flattened dough on top of each ramekin to cover the blackberries, brush with the remaining 4 tablespoons of heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the dough turns golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool. Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite ice cream flavor or whipped cream.
