I can’t express how neat it is, to show you my delve into the baking
world, so that I can display pictures of my beautiful new fancy plates.
I was able to get my chubby little hands on some fresh blackberries. Yes, a whole flat full. Yay. Have I mentioned my incredible love affair that I have with berries?
So, after eating off of them for a couple of days, and deciding it was
freeze, use or loose, I started to look for a recipe that could delight our tastebuds with these beautiful blackberries.
I settled on, a simple blackberry crumb cake. It’s so easy, and is absolutely delicious.
It goes like this!
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

dash salt
1/2 cup evaporated milk
2 cups fresh blackberries
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 325°. Melt butter in an 8-inch square baking dish in the preheated oven. Combin
e flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk in a small bowl and beat until smooth. Pour batter over the melted butter, top with the blackberries, then sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the fruit. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until browned.
It worked out very well. Golden bubbly. I think when I ma
ke this again, with black or raspberries, I would suger dust the berries, prior to baking. Other than that, it was perfect.
I served it, on my pretty, pretty plates, warm, with vanilla bean ice cream.
I love my plates. Have I mentioned that? Thank you so much to everyone
who participated in my Christmas Dream Come True.
Truly, it has meant the world to me.
