ingredients
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1⁄3 cup cold water
- 1 3⁄4 - 2 cups granulated sugar (divided)
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 6 cups mixed berries (picked over, rinsed and drained well if fresh, defrosted if frozen)
- 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 9 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
- 1⁄3 cup boiling water
- whipped cream (optional) or ice cream (optional)
directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Stir together cornstarch and cold water in a large bowl until cornstarch is completely dissolved. Add 1 to 1 1/4 cups sugar, depending on sweetness of berries, the lemon juice and berries, and combine gently but thoroughly. Transfer berry mixture to a well-seasoned 10-inch cast-iron skillet and set aside.
- Combine flour, baking powder, salt and remaining 3/4 cup sugar in a food processor and pulse to blend. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer to a medium bowl. (alternatively, mix biscuit ingredients in a medium bowl with a pastry fork.) Add boiling water and stir just until a dough forms.
- Bring berry mixture to a boil on top of stove, stirring. Carefully drop 8 large spoonfuls of dough onto fruit. Set skillet on foil-lined baking sheet and bake until topping is golden, 30-35 minutes. Cool slightly on a rack and ser ve warm, with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- - If you have no cast-iron skillet, substitute an oven-proof skillet, or simply pour hot fruit into a (wide, rather than deep) greased 6-cup casserole dish.
