Blueberry Grunt

Rebecca Coleman
A classic Nova Scotia dessert, The Bueberry Grunt is like a cobbler, but it's steamed instead of baked. You can make it all year around by using frozen blueberries.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package frozen BC Blueberries (600 g)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup non dairy milk I used Oat
  • 1 tbps apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter, cold

Instructions
 

For the blueberries

  • In a dutch oven with a tightly fitting lid, place the blueberries, water, sugar and lemon juice. Bring up to the boil and then reduce the heat to allow to simmer for about 10 minutes

For the biscuit dough

  • While the blueberries are simmering, place the non dairy milk in a small bowl, and add the vinegar to it. Stir well and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Cut the vegan butter up into smaller pieces and add them to the flour mixture. Cut the butter into the flour at first with a fork or a potato masher (or a pastry cutter if you have one), and then get in there with your hands and rub the butter into the flour until the mixture is sandy.
  • Add the acidified milk and mix everything together.
  • Drop the biscuits by spoonfuls onto the top of the simmering blueberries, and cover tightly with a lid.
  • Allow to cook for about 12-15 minutes.
  • To serve, scoop up a chunk of biscuit and place it in a bowl. Top with the blueberries. Serve with ice cream if desired.
