This cobbler recipe is as southern as they come and will have you smacking your lips within seconds!  

Imagine walking into Grandma’s house and smelling sweet dough in the oven, knowing it will be coming out the oven any minute and you’ll have the opportunity to taste it soon.  Just smelling it makes a person talk like a Cajun and helps you remember your roots quickly!

I remember Mom Nolia asking the grandchildren to pick blackberries for her in the pasture behind the house and when they returned she promised to make tarts and/or a cobbler for them.  It was their reward!

Although I don’t have Mom Nolia’s recipe, I do have Mrs Kelly Broussard’s ole fashion cobbler recipe that looks and tastes just like I remember.  I doubt you will be able to find a recipe that tastes better than this one.  It’s the kind of cobbler made with a lot of love and there are no short cuts.

This recipe is done the ole fashion way and not the easy way (commonly done with biscuits that are cut up in a pan).  Honestly, it’s not difficult to do, even though it’s the old fashioned rolled out crust type of cobbler.
