Ingredients
  

Batter
  •  tbsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cups milk
  • cups white sugar
  • cups all purpose flour
  • 1  tbsp salt
  • 1  tbsp baking powder
Berries
  • 6 cups fresh ripe blackberries
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ½ cup white sugar

Equipment

  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • 9×13-inch glass baking dish
  • Mixing bowls (small and medium)
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together sugar and cornstarch.
  3. Place the blackberries in a mixing bowl, drizzle with melted butter, sprinkle the cornstarch mixture over the top, and toss until the berries are evenly coated.
  4. Spread the blackberry mixture into the prepared baking dish, then whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a separate mixing bowl.
  5. Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the batter is combined but still a little lumpy and pour the batter evenly over the blackberries in the dish.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the berries are tender and the crust is golden brown.
  7. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • For extra depth of flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
  • If your blackberries are especially tart, increase the sugar slightly to balance the flavor.
  • Fresh or frozen blackberries both work well - just don’t thaw the frozen ones before using.
