Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9×9 inch baking dish with butter or parchment paper.
- Prepare the biscuit base: In a medium bowl, combine flour, powdered sugar, melted butter, and salt. Mix until dough holds together; press evenly into the dish. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden.

- Assemble and chill: Spread the blackberry topping over the baked layers. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting.
