Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

3 c Blackberries 1/4 ts Nutmeg
-=OR=- Other Berries 1/4 ts Ground cloves
-=OR=- Sliced Fruit 1/4 c Molasses
1/3 c Sugar 2 tb Lemon juice
1/4 ts Cinnamon

--------------------------TOPPING-------------------------------
1 c Flour 1 Egg; lightly beaten
1 1/2 ts Baking powder 1/4 c Milk
3 tb Butter; cold 1 Egg yolk; for the glaze
1 tb Vegetable oil

Preheat the oven to 375 F.

Wash the berries carefully and combine them with the sugar, spices,
molasses and lemon juice. Transfer to a deep, 9-inch baking dish.

Prepare the biscuit topping: Sift the flour with the baking powder
and salt. Cut the butter and oil with a pastry blender or with your
fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir together
the egg and 1 tablespoon of the milk if necessary to form a soft
dough.

Roll the dough out lightly on a floured surface to about 1/2-inch
thick and stamp out circles of dough, using a biscuit cutter. Cover
the berries with the dough circles. Make a glaze by combining the
egg yolk with the remaining milk and brush this mixture over the
surface of the dough.

Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until nicely
browned.

Serve alone hot, or at room temperature with a small scoop of creme
fraiche, whipped cream or ice cream.
