INGREDIENTS

6 cups of berries (3 cups of blackberries and 3 cups of blueberries)

1 and ½ cup granulated sugar, and another ¼ cup, divided

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon baking powder

¾ stick of melted unsalted butter,

¼ cup of whole milk

INSTRUCTIONS

 

Wash your berries and set aside.

In a large bowl, add the ¼ cup of granulated sugar and lemon juice to the berries. Leave it for 15 minutes to allow the berries to make their juice.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Grease your 9×13 pan and set aside.

In a large bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, 1 and half cup of sugar, salt, and baking powder. They should be well incorporated.

Add in the butter and milk and combine well. The dough must not have any dry crumbs.

Pour the berries with their juice into the baking dish first. Unevenly, cover this layer with the dough mixture.

OPTIONAL: If you like, add a tablespoon or two of the berries over the top.

Place it in the oven and bake it for 35 to 40 minutes until golden brown.

Let it cool slightly. It’s better to serve it warm with a scoop of ice cream on top. Enjoy.
