Blackberry Roll Recipe

Ingredients

1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup plus 1 teaspoon sugar (divided use)
4 T. shortening
2/3 - 3/4 cup milk
3 tablespoons butter, melted
6 cups fresh blackberries (divided use)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Powdered sugar
Whipped cream

Instructions

Combine flour, salt, baking powder and 1 teaspoon sugar. Cut in shortening with two knives or a pastry blender. Add milk; mix well. Turn the dough out of the bowl onto a lightly floured board; knead several times, then roll out to a thickness of 1/3-inch. Brush with some of the melted butter.

Sprinkle with 3 cups of the berries, 1/2 cup of the sugar, the cinnamon and the nutmeg. Roll the dough up like a jelly roll, pinching seams together. Brush with melted butter.

Place in a well-oiled, 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Surround with remaining berries and sugar. Bake at 425°F. for about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Slice and serve with sauce from the pan and a dollop of whipped cream.
