# Instructions:
01 -
Spray a 23 x 33 cm dish with cooking spray. Get your oven hot at 200°C.
02 -
Grab a big bowl and stir together cinnamon, baking soda, salt, flour, baking powder, and brown sugar with your fork so it’s all even.
03 -
Shred the frozen butter right into the bowl. Flip it around with your fork till the butter's mixed through and coated.
04 -
Pour one-third of the buttermilk over the dry mix and stir gently with a fork. Add the last two-thirds, bit by bit. Work it just until the dough feels super soft—don’t overdo it.
05 -
Drop the dough onto a floured counter. Dust the top with more flour. Fold it in half twice, using extra flour if it sticks. Pat it down into a chunky rectangle—aim for 3 cm thick. Skip rolling or kneading.
06 -
Sprinkle a third of the blackberries on the dough. Fold the dough over so berries get covered. Re-pat to about 3 cm thick. Keep folding, switching direction, and adding berries till they’re all tucked in. Use more flour if things get sticky.
07 -
Flip the dough over gently and pat the edges so they stick together. Check it's 2.5–3 cm thick. Press out biscuits using a 6 or 7 cm cutter. Smush the scraps and keep cutting till you’ve used all the dough.
08 -
Line the biscuits up snug in the baking dish, edges touching the sides. Bake for 20-25 minutes or till they’re nice and golden all around.
09 -
While the biscuits cook, mix melted butter, lemon zest, confectioners’ sugar, and lemon juice in a small bowl till it goes smooth.
10 -
Take the hot biscuits and brush lots of glaze over the tops. Enjoy them warm.
# Notes:
01 -
For a deeper berry pop, try mixing your blackberries in a small bowl with a splash of lemon juice and a spoon of sugar. Let them sit while you make the dough, then drain before folding in.
