Pre-heat the oven to Gas 8, 230 centigrade. Place the blackberries in buttered pie dish and sprinkle with a little sugar. Sprinkle over the lemon juice and distribute the cubed cold butter amongst the blackberries.

Sift the baking powder, salt and flour into a large bowl. Add the cubed lard and rub together lightly. Add the sugar and milk and mix together into a smooth dough that leaves the bowl clean.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface large enough to cover the fruit. Place the dough over the top of the fruit and trim the edges off. Prick the surface all over with a fork.

Bake in the oven for 15 minutes and then reduce the heat to Gas 4, 180 centigrade and cook for a further 30 minutes.
