  4. Stir in milk and optional vanilla until the mixture is smooth.
  5. Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish - do not stir.

Notes

For best results, do not stir the layers. Use a proper baking dish size and allow it to rest to avoid runniness. Frozen blackberries can be used directly from the freezer.
