- Only 5 ingredients: Berries, sugar, cornstarch, butter, and all-purpose baking mix.
- Cast iron baking creates caramelized fruit syrup around the edges.

Summer baking should be relaxed. No rolling dough, no blind baking, and no fussy custard thermometers.
The cast iron skillet radiates even heat, creating rich berry jam underneath while the top turns biscuit-crisp.
5-Ingredient Fresh Berry Skillet Crisp with Butter Biscuit Top
When summer berries are at their peak sweetness, dessert does not need twenty ingredients. This 5-ingredient cast iron skillet crisp celebrates fruit purity with a quick butter biscuit crumble that bakes into bubbly perfection in 25 minutes.
Ingredients
- 5 cups mixed fresh summer berries (blackberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose baking mix (Bisquick or similar)
- 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- Vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)
Directions
Toss Fruit Base
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 10-inch cast iron skillet or baking dish, toss mixed berries with granulated sugar and cornstarch until coated.
Rub Biscuit Crumble
In a bowl, combine baking mix and cold butter cubes. Use your fingertips or a fork to work butter into the mix until coarse, pea-sized crumbs form.
Scatter and Bake
Scatter butter biscuit crumble evenly over the berries. Bake at 375°F for 25 to 28 minutes until fruit is thick and bubbling and topping is golden brown.
Serve Warm
Let cool 10 minutes before scooping into bowls with vanilla bean ice cream.
