Slump and Grunt

21st July 2022 by

A delicious recipe from Maine where the farmers were reputed to eat too much of it at lunchtime and slump in their chairs and grunt all afternoon.

Ingredients

275 ml water
15gm butter
450gm blueberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
225gm sugar
110gm SR flour
Half teaspoon salt
50gm sugar
150ml milk

Method

Preheat the oven to 190c or gas mark 5.

Grease a deep baking dish and put in the water, the 225g sugar, lemon juice and berries and put into the oven.  Meanwhile, rub the butter into the flour and add the rest of the ingredients to make a batter.  When the berries are hot, spoon the batter mix over the top and bake for 20 minutes.

It is best served hot with cream or ice cream!
