Step 2
Toss blackberries with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a bowl.
Step 3
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.

Step 5
Pour in buttermilk and stir until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Spread blackberry mixture evenly into the buttered baking dish.
