Instructions
In a food processor, pulse the flour with the 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and the salt until combined.
Add the vegetable shortening and pulse 5 or 6 times, until the mixture resembles small peas.
Add the cold butter and pulse 5 or 6 times, until the mixture resembles peas.
Add the ice water and pulse 5 or 6 times, just until the pastry is evenly moistened.
Transfer the pastry to a lightly floured surface and knead just until it comes together. Flatten the pastry into a 6-inch disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes.
In a large bowl, toss the blackberries with the remaining 1 1/4 cups of sugar, the lemon juice, nutmeg and 1/3 cup of flour.
Let stand at room temperature, stirring gently once or twice, until slightly juicy, about 15 minutes. Fold in the melted butter.
Transfer the fruit to a round 2-quart glass or ceramic baking dish.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the pastry out to a 1/4-inch thickness that is slightly larger than the baking dish. Drape the pastry over the berries. Trim the overhang to 1/2 inch and fold it under itself, pressing the pastry onto the rim of the dish. Crimp the edge decoratively and make 3 slashes in the center of the pastry.
Bake the cobbler for 1 hour, or until the filling is bubbling and the pastry is golden. Cover the edges with foil if the crust browns too quickly.
Let cool for 20 minutes before serving.
