Don't pick them too early!
What you need:
5 cups blackberries
1 cup or less (if you prefer) of sugar
1 stick of butter, unsalted, cut into tiny bits (plus some for greasing the pan)
1/2 cup flour (All-purpose, unbleached is preferred)
1/2 tsp baking powder
Smidgen of salt
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
How to do it:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix the berries with half the sugar by tossing. Then spread the mixture in a greased 8-inch square or 9-inch round baking pan.
2. Combine the remaining dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining sugar) in a food processor and pulse a couple of times (don't go crazy). Add the butter to the food processor and run it for about ten seconds, until everything is well blended. By hand, beat in egg and vanilla.
3. Dollop this mixture on fruit by the tablespoonful. Do not spread t. Bake until topping is golden yellow and just starting to brown (35 to 45 minutes). Serve immediately.
