You'll Need:

2 tbl Cornstarch
1 1/2 cup Sugar
1 tbl Lemon juice
4 cup Raspberries, picked over, rinsed & drained well
1 cup Flour
1 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Salt
6 tbl Unsalted butter, cold, cut into bits
Vanilla ice cream

Procedure:

In a large bowl, stir together the cornstarch an 1/4 cup cold water until cornstarch is completely dissolved. Add 1 cup sugar, lemon juice, and raspberries, and combine the mixture gently but thoroughly. Transfer to an 8-inch cast-iron skillet. In a bowl, combine well the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt. Blend in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 1/4 cup boiling water and stir the mixture until it just forms a dough. Bring the raspberry mixture to a boil on top of the stove, stirring. Drop spoonfuls of the dough carefully onto the boiling mixture, and bake the cobbler on a foil lined baking sheet in the middle of a 400F degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until the topping is golden. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
