Trinculo's Cafe has won the



award!


July 11, 2002

It’s time to celebrate the wonderful berries of summer – specifically, blackberries.
These succulent morsels are at the height of their season now and begging to be
baked into something breathtakingly scrumptious, and we have the very thing:
a quick and easy crisp that will have your grateful guests begging for more. This is
a no-fuss, no-muss winner!

For those of you who prefer them, substitute red raspberries. 
Just increase the sugar in the filling to 1 cup.


Rich Blackberry Crisp

Preheat oven to 375°. 

Topping

1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. finely grated fresh lemon zest
1 beaten egg

In a medium-sized bowl, combine all dry ingredients. 
Make a well in the center and blend in the beaten egg 
and lemon zest until crumbles form.
Melt the butter but keep separate.
Set everything aside.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Filling

2 TBSP flour
¾ cup sugar
5 cups fresh blackberries

Mix flour and sugar in a small bowl. Place blackberries 
in a large bowl and sprinkle with this mixture. Toss gently 
to coat. Transfer to buttered casserole or baking dish (9” x 9”).

Sprinkle crumb topping over berries. Drizzle the melted butter 
evenly over all. Place the baking dish on a baking sheet to prevent 
possible spillage during baking.
Bake for 45 minutes or until topping is browned and filling is bubbly.

Serves 6 fortunate berry lovers.
