Ingredients
Batter
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 cups milk
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp baking powder
Berries
- 6 cups fresh ripe blackberries
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a small bowl, whisk together sugar and cornstarch.
- Place the blackberries in a mixing bowl, drizzle with melted butter, sprinkle the cornstarch mixture over the top, and toss until the berries are evenly coated.
- Spread the blackberry mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the batter is combined but still a little lumpy.
- Pour the batter evenly over the blackberries in the dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the berries are tender and the crust is golden brown.
- Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- For extra depth of flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
- If your blackberries are especially tart, increase the sugar slightly to balance the flavor.
- Fresh or frozen blackberries both work well—just don't thaw the frozen ones before using.
