Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved (or frozen, thawed)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste depending on berry sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/3 cup whole milk (or dairy-free milk like almond or oat)
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • Vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Gently toss to coat the berries without mashing them. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Transfer the berry mixture to your baking dish and spread evenly.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and work it into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk milk and beaten egg together. Pour into flour-butter mixture and stir gently just until combined; dough should be sticky but hold together.
  6. Drop about 12 spoonfuls of the topping evenly over the berry filling.
  7. Brush the topping with melted butter for a golden, slightly crispy crust.
  8. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes until filling bubbles and topping is golden brown. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes to thicken filling.
  10. Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Use cold butter for flaky topping; do not overmix dough to avoid toughness. Brush topping with melted butter before baking for a golden crust. If berries are very juicy, add extra cornstarch to prevent soggy filling. Frozen berries should be thawed and drained. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend. For vegan, substitute butter with vegan margarine or coconut oil, milk with plant-based milk, and egg with flaxseed egg.
