This huckleberry dessert is a family recipe from my husband’s mom and grandma. I like it better than traditional cobbler. This works well with blueberries and blackberries also.

Ingredients
1 ¼ cups white sugar, divided
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup milk
2 ½ cups huckleberries
½ cup boiling water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C.) Grease the bottom of a 9-inch square pan.
Combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup butter in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture. Stir in milk; mixture will be thick and lumpy. Spread batter into the prepared pan.
Combine berries, remaining 3/4 cup sugar, and boiling water in a large bowl; pour over batter in the pan. Dot butter pieces over top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes.
