Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups frozen mixed berries and 1/4 cup granulated sugar, tossing gently to coat.
  2. Step 2: Transfer the berry mixture to a 9-inch square baking dish, spreading evenly.
  3. Step 3: In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  4. Step 4: Cut 1/2 cup chilled unsalted butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Step 5: Stir in 1/2 cup milk just until the dough comes together; it will be slightly sticky.
  6. Step 6: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the berry filling.
  7. Step 7: Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbling around the edges.
  8. Step 8: Let cool for 10 minutes before serving warm with vanilla ice cream if desired.
