Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup water
3 cups fresh or frozen blackberries or a mixture of berries
WHIRLIGIGS:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons shortening

2 tablespoons milk
1/4 cup butter, softened

In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, salt and cinnamon. Stir in water until smooth. Cook until mixture boils and thickens. Stir in berries; cook over low heat for 5 minutes.
Pour into a greased 8-in. square baking pan; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening until coarse crumbs form.
In a small bowl, mix egg and milk. Add to flour mixture; stir until mixture forms a soft ball. Knead several minutes. Roll into a 12-in. x 8-in. rectangle. Spread with butter. Combine sugar, peel and cinnamon; sprinkle over dough.
Starting at a long end, roll up; seal edges. Cut into 9 slices. Place slices over berry mixture. Bake at 400° for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 9 servings.
