Ingredients
For the filling –
8 cups worth of berries – sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, etc
1/3 c sugar
2 T cornstarch
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla
For the topping –
1 1/2 c flour
1/3 c sugar
1 1/2 t baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 Tablespoon unsalted butter, cubed
1/2 cup milk
1 Tablespoon turbinado sugar, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13×9 baking dish and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the berries, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch and vanilla. Toss gently to coat.
- Transfer the berries to the bottom of the baking dish and spread evenly.
- In another medium sized bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir to combine.
- Add in the diced butter and using forks or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it’s about pea-sized.
- Add in the milk and continue to cut the mixture until it is thoroughly combined and holds its shape when pressed together. It will be a little on the dry side, but that is perfect.
- Sprinkle the topping over the berries in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle with the additional turbinado sugar, if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes or until the mixture is bubbly and the topping is slightly browned.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
