Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, gently toss the blackberries with 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of flour, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Pour the blackberry mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the milk and stir until just combined to form a soft dough.
Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the blackberry mixture in the baking dish.
Brush the tops of the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend in both the filling and the topping.
For a vegan version, omit the egg wash and use a plant-based milk and butter substitute.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
If using frozen blackberries, do not thaw them before using.
