I told you it was heaven on earth.
It’s forgiving too. A little more fruit, a little less sugar, a little lemon zest stirred in to dress things up… it all works.
Just make sure you top it all off with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Because that’s really heaven on earth.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted
1 cup self-rising flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided
1 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups fresh or frozen blackberries.
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Pour melted butter into an 8-inch square baking dish.
In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup of sugar with the flour. Stir in the milk and the vanilla until well-combined. Pour into prepared dish.
In a clean bowl, stir together the blackberries with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Spoon over batter.
Bake until top is golden brown and fruit is soft, about 50-60 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
Note: If you don’t have self-rising flour, combine 1 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder.
