This is from Saveur Magazine from a recent article they did about the cuisine of Nantucket. They say that it comes from Alice Ramos, a former neighbor of the cooks featured in the piece. Ingredients:
2 cups blueberries, stemmed & rinsed |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
1 pinch ground cinnamon |
4 tablespoons butter, at room temperature |
2/3 cup sugar |
1 1/4 cups flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 pinch salt |
1/2 cup milk |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put blueberries, lemon juice and cinnamon in a bowl and toss well. Transfer to an 8-cup souffle dish and set aside.
2. Put butter & sugar into a medium mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add flour, baking powder, and salt and beat on medium speed until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about 30 seconds. Add milk and continue beating, scraping sides and bottom of bowl with a rubber spatula as necessary, until batter is smooth, about 1 minute more (batter will be very thick). Using a soup spoon, drop batter by the heaping spoonfuls over berries in dish. Pour 1 cup boiling water over batter (water will smooth out the dollops of batter slightly).
3. Put souffle dish on a baking sheet, transfer to oven, and bake pudding, rotating dish halfway through cooking time, until berries are bubbling and crust is golden brown, about 1 hour. Transfer dish to a rack to let cool slightly. Serve warm.
