Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (600 grams) blackberries, fresh or frozen
  • 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons (85 grams) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss the blackberries with 1/2 cup (100 grams) of granulated sugar and the fresh lemon juice. Let sit for about 10 minutes to macerate.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining 1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar.
  4. Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
  5. Add the milk and vanilla extract to the flour mixture. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Pour the blackberry mixture, including all the juices, into a 9-inch (23 cm) baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the berries, spacing them slightly apart.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the blackberry filling is bubbling around the edges.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes to thicken the juices.
  10. Serve warm with generous scoops of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Do not overmix the biscuit dough to keep it tender. Keep butter cold for flaky topping. Macerate berries to enhance flavor. If biscuits brown too fast, cover loosely with foil. Frozen berries can be used; add cornstarch if needed to thicken filling. For richer topping, brush biscuit dough with melted butter or cream before baking.
