In a bowl, combine well the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt. 
Blend in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add ¼ cup boiling water and stir the mixture until it just forms a dough. 
Bring the blackberry 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 preheated 400f oven for 20-25 minutes or until the topping is golden.
