Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
• 3/4 tsp. baking powder

• 3-1/2 Tbsp. flour
• 1-1/3 Tbsp. vanilla extract

• 1/2 Tbsp. melted butter or margarine {not spread}
• 2-1/2 tsp. granulated sugar

Directions

Mix sugar, baking powder, salt, shortening, buttermilk and 3/4 cup of the flour to form a sticky dough. Spread remaining flour on a work surface and knead dough until most of the flour is incorporated and dough is manageable. Roll dough to about 1/4-inch thick and cut into large pieces. Cover blackberry filling with dough, overlapping pieces, patchwork style.

Filling: Mix all ingredients and put into prepared pan.

Topping: Drizzle melted butter over dough and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until crust is golden-brown and filling is bubbly, about 50 minutes. Makes 8 to 10 servings
