One of my favorite little activity for summer is to pick blackberries and then include it in baking.
Here is a recipe I recently tried. Its really tasty and easy to make. Try and enjoy.
Found it on pinterest.
Ingredients
For the filling
Blackberries – 4 to 5 cups
Cornstarch – 1 tbsp
Sugar – 3/4 cups
Lemon Juice – 1 tbsp
For the crust
All Purpose Flour – 3 cups
Sugar – 3/4 cups
Eggs – 3
Butter(cold) – 3/4 cup(cubed into small pieces)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare a 9 x 13 inch baking pan.
- Mix the flour, sugar in a bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter into the mixture really well.
- Stir in beaten eggs into the mixture with a fork.
- Press down half of this mixture into the baking pan so that it forms the bottom part of the crust. (Sorry, missed taking a picture)
- Mix the blackberries, cornstarch, sugar and lemon juice in a bowl.
- Now add the blackberry mixture on top of the crust.
- Sprinkle the rest of the dough mixture on top of the blackberry mixture.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or till lightly golden brown in color.
- Cut into squares and enjoy.
