Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Preheat oven to 375º F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

In a bowl, mix blackberries, 1 1/4 cup sugar, lemon zest and juice together. Spread out evenly in baking dish.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, salt and baking powder. Add the butter and shortening and mix together with a pastry blender or fork until coarse and crumbly.

Slowly pour milk into flour, mixing as you go. Dough should smooth out and not be sticky.
