Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 9 tablespoons cold butter
  • 1/3 cup boiling water
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 4 cups fresh blackberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • To make the dough, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or two butter knives until you have a coarse, crumbly mixture. Pour in the boiling water and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • To make the filling, dissolve the cornstarch in the water. Add the berries to a large, deep cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the cornstarch slurry, lemon juice, and sugar to the pan and stir well.
  • Heat mixture over medium heat until boiling, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
  • Drop small pieces of dough evenly over the berry mixture. Place the cast iron pan on a foil lined cookie sheet and place in the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and the berries are thick and bubbly.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
