Set out oz blackberries, unsalted butter melted, and flour before you start Blackberry Buckle – An Old Fashioned Treasure after Supper. The batch is written for 8 people.

Count on 30 minutes of prep, 1 hour of cooking, about 1 hour from the first measurement to the plate.

Ingredients Method

What goes in the bowl

• 12 oz blackberries
• ½ cup unsalted butter melted
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• pinch kosher salt
• 1 cup 2% milk
• 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
• extra granulated sugar for sprinkling

How the cooking goes

1. Heat your oven to 350°F and move a rack to the top third of the oven.
2. In a medium bowl, slightly mash the blackberries to begin releasing their juices, keep it to one side.
3. In a 12-inch cast iron skillet melt your butter. While the butter is melting prepare your batter.
4. In a mixing bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a wet-ingredient measuring cup, measure your milk and then add the vanilla, stir to combine. Pour the milk/vanilla mixture into your dry ingredients and whisk until no lumps remain.
5. Tip the butter into the batter and whisk to combine. Pour the batter back into the cast iron skillet that you used to melt your butter. Spoon the blackberries into the center of the batter, leaving about an inch of blackberry-free batter around the edges.
6. Sprinkle granulated sugar over the blackberries. You used about 1 tablespoon.
7. Oven-bake approximately 1 hour or until a cake tester inserted into the center of the buckle comes out with a few crumbs still attached.
8. Allow it to cool slightly, spoon into bowls and top with vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped cream. The buckle is best served warm or ambient temperature.
