Notes

Substitutions

Blackberries: This is also delicious with blueberries or raspberries.

Flour: You can easily make this gluten-free with a 1:1 gluten-free flour!

Milk: Whole milk will also work well.

Cast Iron or Baking Dish

We use a 12" cast iron for this recipe, but you can also use a 10" skillet too for a thicker berry layer. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, a 9X13 glass baking dish will work well too.
