Ingredients
Scale
For the Fruit Filling:
- 4 cups fresh blackberries (or frozen, thawed)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the Biscuit Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
- 1/2 cup milk (or buttermilk for a richer flavor)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Serving:
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to coat the berries, then set aside to let the mixture sit for 10 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the milk and vanilla extract, stirring just until combined. The dough will be somewhat sticky.
- Pour the berry mixture into a greased 9-inch baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the berries, spreading it out as evenly as possible.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- If fresh blackberries are unavailable, frozen blackberries work just as well.
- You can adjust the sugar amount based on the sweetness of your berries.
- For a twist, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the biscuit topping for extra flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
