Preheat oven to 350°F
In large bowl, mix fruit, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and vanilla. Pour into 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a separate, medium size mixing bowl, blend flour, baking powder, salt, and 1/2 cup sugar.
Using a pastry cutter, cut cold butter into dry ingredients until crumbly.
Pour milk of choice over dry ingredients (reserving 1 tbsp) and stir to combine. Your dough should resemble a wet cookie dough or biscuit dough.
Using your fingers, drop small blobs of dough over fruit or make flattened balls and lay over fruit. Brush the dough with the remaining milk and sprinkle with the reserved 1 tbsp of sugar.
Bake in in center of oven for 55 minutes. Remove and cool 15-20 minutes before serving.
Delicious with ice cream, whipped cream or solo!
