1-3/4 cups flour
2 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder

Place berries in a lightly greased 2-quart baking dish. Combine sugar and flour; add water and lemon juice, mixing well. Pour syrup over berries; bake at 350 degrees F about 15 minutes while preparing the pastry. Place pastry over hot berries; brush with melted butter. Bake at 425 degrees F for 20 to 30 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown.
