TOPPING
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in milk just until moistened. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto hot berry mixture.
- Bake, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes or until filling is bubbly and topping is golden brown. Serve warm, with whipped topping or ice cream if desired.
Notes
- Adjust buttermilk amount so the biscuit dough is moist but holds together when pinched.
