First, you are going to need to pick your fresh blackberries. I had a blackberry bush in my backyard so that made it simple. You will need 2 1/2 cups of fresh blackberries.
Step 2
Next, gather your ingredients and preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
Step 3
In a bowl, stir the blackberries and the sugar together. Let this mixture sit for about 20 minutes
Step 4
Grate some lemon zest into your blackberry mixture and squeeze in some lemon juice.
I also added a tablespoon of ground cinnamon to add more flavor. (This is optional)
Step 5
In a second bowl, stir the flour, baking powder, salt, milk and butter together. Spread this mixture in an 8x8 inch glass baking dish.
Step 6
Carefully spoon the blackberry mixture on top of the batter.
Step 7
Bake for 45-55 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
