The English Blackberry Cobbler is a classic dessert that originated in England in the 19th century. It was a popular dish in the countryside, where blackberries grow wild and abundantly. The sweet and juicy blackberries were combined with a simple flour and butter mixture to create a humble and delicious dessert. Today, the English Blackberry Cobbler is still enjoyed as a comforting and satisfying treat that celebrates the beauty and simplicity of seasonal fruits.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
2.	In a large mixing bowl, combine the blackberries, 4 ounces of sugar, and one tablespoon of plain flour.
3.	In another mixing bowl, sift together the self raising flour, granulated sugar, and butter. Rub together the mixture with your fingers until it resembles breadcrumbs.
4.	Beat together the egg and milk in a separate bowl.
5.	Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir to form a dough.
6.	Spread the blackberry mixture evenly into a 9-inch baking dish and top with spoonfuls of the dough.
7.	Brush the top of the dough with additional milk and sprinkle with sugar.
8.	Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the blackberries are bubbling.
9.	Serve hot or cold with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
