2 Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.

In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and work it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Pour in the boiling water and stir until just combined into a thick, sticky dough.

Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the berry mixture, leaving small gaps for the fruit to peek through.

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berry juices are bubbling and thickened.

Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes to allow the filling to set slightly.

Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top.

·
Use cold butter for the crust to ensure a flaky, biscuit-like texture.
·
Don't overmix the dough after adding boiling water, or the topping may become tough.
·
If using frozen berries, do not thaw them first; just add an extra 5 minutes to the baking time.
·
For extra crunch, sprinkle a tablespoon of coarse sanding sugar over the dough before baking.

Absolutely. You can use any combination of strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries totaling about 6 cups.

How do I store leftovers?

Cover the dish tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F to restore crispness.
