Ingredients:
- 4 cups (600g) fresh blackberries
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
- 1 tbsp (8g) cornstarch
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (120g) self-rising flour
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, toss the blackberries with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch until the berries are evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture into a 9x9 inch baking dish or 9-inch cast iron skillet, spreading them into a flat, even layer.
- Pour the melted butter directly into the bottom of the baking dish and swirl to coat the bottom.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and sugar.
- Stir in the milk until just combined, leaving a few small lumps.
- Spoon the batter over the blackberries in dollops to create a rustic, peaked surface; do not stir the batter into the fruit.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes until the topping is deep mahogany-gold and juices bubble around the edges.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes to allow the filling to set.
