Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups mixed berries blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar divided
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cubed
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar for topping
  • Vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat (approximately 350-375°F). Position the grill for indirect cooking.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the berries, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla. Gently toss until the berries are evenly coated. Transfer this mixture to your cast iron skillet.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Gradually add the buttermilk, stirring gently until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the berry mixture, leaving some gaps for the berries to peek through.
  7. Sprinkle the turbinado sugar over the dough topping.
  8. Cover the skillet loosely with aluminum foil and place on the grill over indirect heat.
  9. Close the grill lid and cook for about 30-35 minutes, then remove the foil and continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  10. Remove from the grill and allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
  11. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
