Ingredients:
- 4 cups (600g) fresh blackberries
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp (8g) cornstarch
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
- 3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, toss the blackberries with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch.
- Pour the blackberry mixture into a 9x9 inch baking dish or a 10-inch cast iron skillet, spreading the berries evenly. Let them sit for 5 minutes until the sugar draws out the juices.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in the milk until just combined, ensuring a few lumps remain.
- Fold in the melted butter until the batter is smooth and velvety.
- Spoon the batter in dollops over the blackberries; do not stir the batter into the fruit.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes until the topping is mahogany-colored and the berry juices are bubbling vigorously around the edges.
