Ingredients
For the filling
- 600g blackberries, washed if foraged
- 4 tbsp elderflower cordial
- 1 tbsp cornflour
For the topping
- 150g light brown sugar
- 150g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- zest of 2 lemons
- 150g unsalted butter, melted
- Vanilla ice cream, to serve
Step by step
- Preheat the oven to 190°C, fan 170°C, gas 5. Put the blackberries in a bowl with the elderflower cordial, cornflour and a pinch of salt, stir well to combine. Tip into a shallow 20cm x 26cm baking dish.
- For the topping, mix the sugar, flour, baking powder, lemon zest and a pinch of salt together and scatter this over the surface of the blackberries.
- Slowly pour over the melted butter so it completely coats the surface. Bake for 50 minutes, or until the topping is golden and crisp and the fruit is bubbling underneath. Leave to rest for 5 minutes, before serving warm with ice cream.
