Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place a piece of foil on the bottom rack of the oven to catch any drippings.
- Place the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda into the bowl of a food processor and process for 3 to 4 pulses. Pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl and, using your hands, work the butter into the flour mixture until about half of the fat disappears and the rest is left in pea-size pieces. Make a well in the center of the mixture and add the buttermilk and stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon just until it comes together. Turn the mixture out onto a piece of parchment or waxed paper that has been lightly dusted with flour, shape into a ball and wrap and store in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
- Combine the blackberries, sugar, water and ginger in a large mixing bowl. Pour the mixture into a 10-inch cast iron skillet and place over medium heat. Bring this to a simmer decrease the heat to medium low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes, or until the liquid is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Retrieve the dough from the refrigerator and gently drop it on the fruit mixture using a 1-ounce disher or large spoon, evenly distributing it over the top. Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the top is just starting to brown. Remove from the oven and allow the grunt to cool for 15 to 30 minutes before serving.
SPICED BLUEBERRY GRUNT
Grunts get their quirky name from the fact that the fruit, which is topped with dumplings and cooked on the stove in a covered skillet, can make a grunting sound as the dessert steams. Molasses adds sweetness and a lovely depth of flavor.

STOVE TOP BLUEBERRY GRUNT
This oddly named dessert promises juicy berries topped with biscuity dumplings, and there is no need to turn on the oven. But it can easily become a soggy, bland mess. Do not use frozen blueberries here, as they will make the filling watery. You will need a clean kitchen towel for this recipe.

This is a pudding with dumplings in it. Pretty tasty! This is a crockpot dish so turn it on and leave it be for 5 1/2- 6 hours, before you start the dumpling part.

Tips
- Choose fresh, ripe blueberries for the best flavor. Frozen blueberries can also be used, but they should be thawed before cooking.
- Use a large saucepan or Dutch oven for cooking the grunt. This will allow the blueberries to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Bring the blueberry mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. This will allow the blueberries to soften and release their juices.
- Add the dumplings to the blueberry mixture and cook for an additional 15 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through.
- Serve the grunt hot with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.
Conclusion
Blueberry grunt is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh blueberries, and it can be served hot or cold. Whether you are looking for a simple dessert for a weeknight meal or a special treat for a party, blueberry grunt is a great choice.
