Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (600g) mixed berries (frozen blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, or fresh)
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Wipe your cast iron skillet with oil if needed.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss mixed berries with 1/4 cup (50g) sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Set aside to macerate for 5-10 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, remaining 1/4 cup (50g) sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; batter should be thick but spoonable.
  5. Pour berry mixture into the bottom of the cast iron skillet, spreading evenly.
  6. Dollop spoonfuls of batter over the berries; it won’t cover completely for a rustic look.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until topping is golden brown and berry juices bubble around edges. A toothpick inserted should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow filling to thicken.

Notes

Do not skip the cornstarch to avoid a watery filling. Let berries macerate to release juices and deepen flavor. Avoid overmixing batter to keep topping tender. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly. Can prep berry mixture ahead and refrigerate. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend. For vegan, use plant-based milk and vegan butter or coconut oil.
