Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh blackberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and 1/4 cup flour. Toss gently until the blackberries are coated.
- Transfer the blackberry mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- In another mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, mix together the milk and vanilla extract. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough onto the blackberry mixture, evenly covering the surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the blackberry filling is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
