I got some blackberries from the food co-op, so I looked up a recipe for them and found this one by Sandra Lee from the Food Network. I made it when Dad came to visit and I thought it was delicious. This recipe makes 8 servings, but I only needed four servings, so I halved everything except the cream soda & pancake mix and it turned out well. I also used three 6oz cartons of fresh blackberries instead of the frozen (that's what I got from the co-op). I was worried about the seeds but they weren't a problem.
Ingredients
• 2 pounds frozen blackberries, thawed
• 1 cup sugar plus more for dusting
• 3 tablespoons instant tapioca
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 (7.75-ounce) packet butter biscuit mix (like Bisquick, or for GF use a gluten-free pancake mix)
• 3/4 cup cream soda, divided
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 8 (4-inch) ramekins with butter flavored cooking spray and set aside.
In a bowl combine thawed blackberries, tapioca, lemon juice, 1/4 cup of cream soda and sugar.
Transfer to ramekins.
In a large bowl combined biscuit mix and remaining (1/2 c) cream soda. Mix until well blended. Sprinkle biscuit mix over berries.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Serve warm.
I also dusted these with powdered sugar and put a few whole blackberries on top to look nice. It really tasted good.
