Step by Step

  1. Preheat oven to 350

    In large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 c of the flour, baking powder, and sugar. 

  2. Add melted butter, milk and beaten eggs. Mix ( by hand or with mixer) until batter is smooth and all dry ingredients are gone

  3.  In a small bowl sprinkle fresh berries with the ¼ cup of flour, turning them over by hand so you don’t mash them, completely coating berries with flour.

    Lift berries out of the excess flour and place them into the batter.

    Gently fold berries into batter.

  4. Then pour batter into a buttered 10 inch cast iron skillet.

    Bake for 40 – 45 minutes or until bread is set in the center and brown.

    If you want additional browning on top place under broiler for about 1 minute.

Notes:

Let cool and serve with ice cream or sprinkle with powdered sugar.
