Equipment

  • 1 oven
  • 1 whisk and bowl
  • 1 9x13 baking dish
  • 1 set measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pints strawberries hulled and quartered, 2 pounds
  • 2 pints blackberries 12 ounces
  • 2 pints raspberries 12 ounces
  • 3/4 C. sugar
  • 2 Tbs. cornstarch

Batter

  • 1 1/2 C. all-purpose flour
  • 1 C. sugar
  • 2 tsp. lemon zest finely grated
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 C. milk
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 stick unsalted butter melted

Instructions
 

  • 1. Make the filling: In a bowl, toss the berries with the sugar and cornstarch and let stand for 10 minutes.
  • 2. Meanwhile, make the batter: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
    In a medium bowl, whisk the flour with the sugar, lemon zest, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk and vanilla. Whisk the liquid into the dry ingredients until evenly moistened, then whisk in the melted butter until smooth.
  • 3. Spread the filling in a 9x13" baking dish. Spoon the batter on top, leaving small gaps. Bake in the center of the oven for 1 hour, until the fruit is bubbly and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean. Let cool for 1 hour before serving.
