Weekend recipe - Dewberry cobbler

I went out into the backyard on Sunday and found some dewberries ready for picking.  I picked the obvious ones around the lemon tree and decided there weren't enough to do anything with.  With a little more searching around the creek, I found enough to use the recipe below.  It looks like I should be able to do the same thing over the next couple of weekends.  The dewberry patch is pretty extensive.

Dewberry Cobbler
Crust ingredients:
1/2 stick of butter (2 oz.)
1 cup of flour (6 oz.)
1/2 cup sugar (3 oz.)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup of buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon salt

Filling ingredients
4 cups dewberries or blackberries
1/2 cup sugar (3 oz.)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Method:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place the rinsed berries in a large cast-iron skillet or nine-inch round cake pan, and toss the berries with the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and lemon juice. Let them macerate for 20 minutes.

To make the crust, melt the butter on low in a pan, and then add the other ingredients. Dough will be slightly sticky, moist yet pliable.

Pat out the dough and place it over the berries.

Bake 40 minutes or until light brown and bubbling.
