Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a medium mixing bowl mix berries with ⅓ cup granulated sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Mix gently until the ingredients are evenly coated and the cornstarch has dissolved.
In a separate medium bowl whisk together flour, 1 cup sugar, milk, egg, vanilla and almond extracts and cinnamon. Whisk or stir just until combined and no lumps remain.
Add melted butter to a 12-inch cast iron skillet. Swirl until it coats the bottom and sides. Immediately pour the batter into the skillet. Dollop fruit over batter using a tablespoon.
Transfer to the oven and bake for 40 minutes or until puffy and golden brown.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Pan Options: You can make this berry cobbler in any similar size baking dish or oven safe skillet. You can also bake it in a 9x9-inch pan.

Fruit: You can customize the berry blend using your favorite variety of fresh blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, cherries, blackberries or the specific blend carried by your local market. You'll need around 4-6 cups of any berry blend that you enjoy.

Flour: Self rising flour already has the leavening added to the mix making it unnecessary to add more. You could use all purpose flour for this recipe adding 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Fruit: You could make this cobbler using peaches, apples, apricots or mangoes.
