Ingredients

For the Filling:

• 4 cups fresh blackberries
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

For the Biscuit Topping:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
• 1/4 cup boiling water

Kitchen Equipment

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the blackberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cornstarch. Toss gently until the blackberries are evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt for the biscuit topping. Add the cold butter pieces and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
