Ingredients:
- 4 cups (500g) frozen blackberries
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp (5g) cornstarch
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) ground cinnamon
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 tsp (10g) baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
- 4 tbsp (56g) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, gently toss the frozen blackberries with 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, vanilla, and cinnamon.
- Transfer the berry mixture immediately into a 9x9 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- In the same mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in the milk and melted butter until just combined; the batter should remain slightly lumpy.
- Spoon the batter over the berries in dollops, spreading lightly with a spatula but leaving some peaks for crispiness.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes until fruit juices bubble at the edges and the topping is deep golden brown and firm.
- Let the dish rest for 15 minutes before serving to allow the syrup to set.
