Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 8 tablespoons butter, cold, diced small
- ¾ cup buttermilk, cold
- 24 ounces fresh blackberries, rinsed and dried, divided
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and cinnamon until evenly mixed.
- Add the cold butter and cut it into the flour using two forks or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles pea-sized pieces.
- Gently fold in the buttermilk until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix. Cover and chill in the refrigerator until needed.
- Position the oven rack in the middle and preheat to 375°F.
- In a 10-inch cast iron skillet, combine half of the blackberries, sugar, salt, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until softened.
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry. Once the berries release their juices, stir in the slurry and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
- Remove the filling from heat and fold in the remaining blackberries.
- Take the biscuit dough from the refrigerator. Using a greased 1/3 measuring cup, scoop portions of dough onto the blackberries and gently spread.
- Brush melted butter atop the biscuits before placing the skillet in the oven.
- Bake until the filling is bubbling and the biscuits are golden brown, around 35-38 minutes.
- Allow it to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
