  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

6 cups fresh blackberries

1 cup granulated sugar

3/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons cornstarch

2 tablespoons salted butter, diced

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup granulated sugar, divided

1/2 cup cold salted butter, diced

1/2 cup minced crystallized ginger

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

2/3 cup buttermilk

1 large egg, lightly beaten

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine blackberries, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and cornstarch. Toss until well coated and spread evenly in the prepared dish. Dot with diced butter.
  3. For the biscuit topping, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, 1/4 cup sugar, crystallized ginger, and cinnamon in a bowl.
  4. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Stir in buttermilk and egg until a soft dough forms.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of dough evenly over the berry filling, leaving some gaps. Sprinkle remaining sugar on top.
  7. Bake 35–40 minutes, until biscuits are golden brown and filling is bubbling.
  8. Let cool 15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.

Notes

Frozen blackberries can be used; do not thaw before baking.

Prepare biscuit topping up to a day ahead and refrigerate.

Swap crystallized ginger with ground ginger or omit for a milder flavor.

Best served warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

The filling thickens as it cools; let rest 10–15 minutes before serving.
