Prepare Pie Plate: Generously butter a 9-inch pie plate and place the blackberries (or blueberries) into the bottom, distributing them evenly.
-
Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a blender, combine the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small mixing bowl, combine the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, nutmeg, and salt.
