Ingredients

BERRY FILLING:

  • 6 cups fresh or frozen mixed berries I used strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries!
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp fresh orange zest

BISCUIT:

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp salted butter chilled and cut into small cubes
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp peanut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease an 8x8-inch or a smaller casserole baking dish with butter or oil.
  • In a large bowl, toss the berries with flour, sugar and zest. Transfer the berries to the baking dish and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter until small pea-sized pieces are formed.
  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, oil and vanilla. Add the buttermilk-oil mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just moistened. Do not over mix. Drop the batter onto the fruit forming 6 even mounds. Sprinkle the tops with more sugar.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, until fruit is bubbly and top is golden. Let stand for at least 10 minutes before serving and enjoy!
