This is my grandma's recipe, and I have found none that compare. I always make it with blackberries, but you can use any fruit you want.

Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Bake in the preheated oven until the mixture is bubbly, and the topping is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.
Step 2
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Whisk 1 1/2 cups sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt together in a small bowl; set aside.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the flour with 1 1/2 cups sugar, baking powder, and another pinch of salt. Mix in the softened butter until the mixture resembles cornmeal, then stir in the milk until moistened. Spread the blackberries into a 9x13-inch baking dish, and spoon the batter evenly over top. Sprinkle with the cornstarch mixture, then pour the boiling water over top.
