Mixed-Berry Grunt

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 8

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon plus a pinch of ground cinnamon
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
Salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/3 cup whole milk, room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 cups raspberries (about 1 1/2 pints)
3 cups blackberries (about 1 1/2 pints)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Heavy cream, for drizzling

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Stir together 2 tablespoons sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl; set aside. Whisk together the flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, the baking powder, a pinch of salt, and the ginger in a medium bowl. Stir together the milk and butter in a small bowl. Stir the milk-butter mixture into the flour mixture. Set the batter aside.

    Step 2

    Gently fold together the raspberries, blackberries, lemon juice, remaining 3/4 cup sugar, a pinch of salt, the remaining pinch of cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons water in a large bowl. Transfer mixture to a large, straight-sided skillet. Cover; bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.

    Step 3

    Drop 8 large dollops of batter on top of the berry mixture using 2 spoons, spacing them evenly. Sprinkle the dumplings with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Cover; reduce heat to medium. Cook until the dumplings are cooked through and the juices are bubbling, about 15 minutes. Serve warm, drizzled with cream.
