To make topping, combine flour, sugar, and butter and crumble with your fingers until it resembles coarse meal. Place in refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter and flour six ramekins. Gently heat butter and cream in a small saucepan until the butter melts. Remove from heat. Add vanilla extract and brandy. In a small mixing bowl, whisk eggs with sugar until eggs lighten in color. Add butter and cream mixture to eggs and sugar. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. Slowly pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, whisking to combine. Batter should be a little thicker than a pancake batter. Add flour or heavy cream to correct, if necessary. Fold in blackberries. Distribute batter among ramekins. Then distribute topping over each ramekin. Place in oven for 45 minutes or until golden brown on top and substantially risen. Remove, let cool, and enjoy.
