- 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 tbsp (12g) baking powder
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, toss the blackberries with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
- Pour the blackberry mixture into a 9-inch deep-dish baking pan or cast-iron skillet, spreading the berries evenly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Pour the melted butter and milk into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until just combined, leaving a few small lumps.
- Spoon the batter over the berries in rustic dollops, leaving small gaps of fruit visible.
- 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.
