Ingredients:

  • 4 cups (600g) fresh blackberries
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (8g) cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp (1g) ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the blackberries with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
  3. Pour the blackberry mixture into a 9-inch deep-dish baking pan or cast-iron skillet, spreading the berries evenly.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Pour the melted butter and milk into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until just combined, leaving a few small lumps.
  6. Spoon the batter over the berries in rustic dollops, leaving small gaps of fruit visible.
  7. Bake for 40–45 minutes until the topping is a deep mahogany color and the blackberry juices are bubbling thick and velvety around the edges.
