• Preheat the oven to 190^oC / 375^oF / Gas 5. Grease a 23 cm baking dish.
• With an electric mixer, cream the butter or margarine with the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, beat to combine, then mix in the milk until well blended.
• Sift over the flour, baking powder, salt and stir just enough to blend the ingredients. Add the berries and stir. Transfer to the baking dish.
• For the topping, place the sugar, flour, cinnamon and butter in a mixing bowl. Cut in with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
• Sprinkle the topping over the mixture in a baking dish.
• Bake until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
• Serve warm or cold.
