¼ cup tapioca
½ tsp cinnamon
TOPPING for either cobbler
2 cups of your favorite gluten-free flour blend

BERRY: Whisk together the sugar, tapioca and the cinnamon in a saucepan. Add the water and the lemon juice, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When the mixture is bubbly and thick, pour it over the berries in the 13x9 baking pan, and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the butter or margarine until the mixture consists of coarse crumbs.
Pour in the milk and stir with a fork until the dough clings together.
Drop chunks of the dough by heaping tablespoonfuls onto the fruit mixture, until all the dough has been used.
Sprinkle 2 Tbsp. Sugar over entire top of cobbler.
Bake for 45 - 60 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the bread is done. Cool slightly, and serve either warm or cool, plain or with vanilla ice cream on top.
