Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Pour the berry mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add cold butter and cut it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in milk until a soft dough forms.
Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the berry filling, leaving some gaps for the filling to bubble through.
