Blueberry Grunt
A grunt is a dessert, traditionally served on America's east coast that is a combination of a pie and a cobbler. It consists of fruit, most often berries, which are cooked beneath a crust of biscuit or dumpling type dough. The Grunt was named for the echo of sounds coming from the bubbling fruit under the dough as it cooks. A Grunt is similar in preparation to the Slump with the exception that the Grunt is steam cooked and the Slump is baked.
Ingredients: Blueberry Grunt |
 |
- 4 c. fresh blueberries
- 1 c. water
- 1 c. sugar
- 1 1/2 c. flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
|
|
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 2 tbsp. grated orange peel
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 3/4 c. milk
|
- Check through the blueberries for any bad berries and discard. Combine the blueberries, water, and sugar in a medium size skillet. Cook over medium high heat until boiling. Turn heat down and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.
|
|
 |
- While berries are simmering, combine the flour, baking powder, orange peel, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl and stir to mix evenly.
- Add the milk and stir just enough to moisten the dry ingredients. The dough will be fairly thick.
|
|
 |
- After the blueberries have simmered for 20 minutes, drop the topping mixture a tablespoonful at a time on top of simmering berries in the skillet.
|
|
|
- Cover the skillet and cook for 15 minutes or until the dumplings are done. Do not remove the cover during the cooking time.
|
|
 |
- When the grunt is done, spoon it out of the skillet on to a plate, serving while it is still warm.
