Almost a blackberry cobbler but the dough is more of a dumpling than the other cake types I see everywhere. This is the recipe my great grandmother used for decades.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup chilled butter, cut into small pieces
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour for dusting
6 cups blackberries
1 ¼ cups raw sugar
1 cup water
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon raw sugar, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a piece of aluminum foil on the bottom rack of the oven to catch any drippings.
  • Mix 1 cup all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Work 1/4 cup butter into flour mixture using your hands until about half the butter has been incorporated and the rest is in pea-sized pieces.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour-butter mixture; add buttermilk to the well. Stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until dough just comes together.
  • Lightly dust a piece of parchment paper with 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour.
  • Turn dough onto the prepared parchment paper. Shape dough into a ball; wrap parchment paper around dough. Store in refrigerator while preparing the blackberry filling.
  • Mix blackberries, 1 1/4 cup sugar, and water together in a large bowl.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Pour blackberry mixture into the melted butter and bring to a simmer. Decrease heat to medium-low; cook and stir until liquid has reduced and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 15 minutes.
  • Gently drop large spoonfuls of dough evenly into the blackberry mixture; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow grunt to cool for 15 to 30 minutes before serving.

BLACKBERRY GRUNT

Categories     dessert

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 cups fresh or IQF frozen blackberries
3/4 cup sugar (or to taste)
1/2 cup red wine or water
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1 cup all purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup buttermilk (or a mixture of plain yogurt and skim milk or water), plus more as needed
2 tablespoons sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Whipped cream, cinnamon ice cream or sweetened yogurt

Steps:

  • Place the berry mixture in a deep 8 or 9-inch skillet and bring to a simmer over moderate heat. While berries are cooking make the dumpling dough: In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir in the melted butter. Add enough of the buttermilk to form a soft, sticky dough that is slightly wetter than a biscuit dough. Using a soup spoon, spoon the dough over the fruit, forming small dumplings. Sprinkle the dumplings with the cinnamon sugar. Tightly cover the skillet with the lid or a sheet of foil and steam mixture over medium-low heat, without opening lid, until the dumplings set and the surface is dry when touched with a fingertip, about 15 minutes. To serve: Spoon the warm grunt into serving bowls, and top with whipped cream, ice cream or sweetened yogurt.
