Ingredients

Filling
2 quarts fresh berries (any kind), washed and stemmed
6 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons butter or margarine

Topping
1 1/2 cups sifted flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place berries in an ungreased 3-quart casserole; mix cornstarch and sugar and stir into berries. Taste and, if too tart, add more sugar. Dot with butter and let stand 20 minutes; stir well. Meanwhile, prepare topping. Sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a bowl, then cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Mix in milk with a fork to form a stiff dough. Drop from a tablespoon on top of berries, spacing evenly. Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes until lightly browned and bubbly. Cool to room temperature before serving. Makes 6 servings.
