Equipment

  • 10–12 inch cast iron skillet
  • Two mixing bowls
  • Pastry cutter or your hands
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups mixed berries fresh or frozen; blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup cold unsalted butter cubed

Instructions
 

  • Prep the berries: In a bowl, combine mixed berries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
  • Add to skillet: Pour the berry mixture into a 10–12 inch cast iron skillet and spread evenly.
  • Make the topping: In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
  • Top the berries: Sprinkle the topping over the berry mixture. Don’t press it down keeping it loose gives that perfect texture.
  • Bake: Slide the skillet into a pizza oven at around 375–400°F (190–205°C). Bake for 25–30 minutes, rotating if needed, until the berries are bubbling and the top is golden brown.
  • Serve: Let cool 5–10 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes
