A Blueberry Grunt is a cobbler that is cooked on the stove top or over a campfire instead of in the oven. The drop biscuits steam to perfection in a bed of blueberries. This is a camping recipe that will really have you looking forward to dessert!
Blueberry Grunt
Ingredients:
4 cups blueberries (frozen or fresh)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp lemon juice
Grunt:
2 cups flour
¼ cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
2 tbsp butter, cold
1 cup milk
Directions:
In a cast iron pan, combine the blueberries, sugar, water and lemon juice.
Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer until the mixture has started to thicken.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
Cut the butter into the mixture with two dinner knives then mix in the milk. The resulting batter will be thick and sticky.
Shape into balls and place them on top of the cooked blueberries.
Cover the pan with tin foil and allow to simmer for 17-20 minutes. The tops of the biscuits will be soft but firm to the touch.
Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

This is a recipe I have heard about but had never actually seen until now. It seems to be a wonderful dish for the top of the stove. I am hoping to make it as my husband and I love blueberries and biscuits. I know we will enjoy this dessert immensely.
