1 tbsp lemon juice

🥣 Batter & Topping

1 cup all‑purpose flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
½ tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup unsalted butter 1 stick, melted and slightly cooled
1 cup milk

🌟 Final Touches

Equipment

Medium saucepan
Whisk
Mixing bowls (large and small)
Measuring cups & spoons
Spatula or wooden spoon

Method

Step 1: Prepare the Fruit

In a medium saucepan, combine raspberries, lemon juice, and ¾ cup of the sugar.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until juices thicken (~5 minutes).
Whisk in cornstarch dissolved in 2 tbsp water, and cook another minute.
Pour mixture into the bottom of the baking dish.

Step 2: Make the Batter

In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, remaining sugar, and salt.
Stir in milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter just until combined (don’t overmix).
Spoon the batter evenly over the fruit—it will be thin and rustic.

Step 3: Bake to Golden Perfection

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Sprinkle coarse sugar evenly over the batter.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until topping is golden and raspberries are bubbling around edges.
Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
