A sticky biscuit dough is dropped onto blueberries in this classic New England dessert, which is called a "slump," "grunt," or "cobbler," depending on who you're asking. This recipe first appeared in our June/July 2012 issue along with Nick Malgieri's story Mother of the Blues.

Serves 8Ingredients

2 cups flour1 ¾ cups sugar, plus more for sprinkling4 ½ tsp. baking powder1 tsp. kosher salt4 tbsp. unsalted butter, cubed and chilled1 ¼ cups milk1 ½ lb. blueberries1 cup fresh orange juice¼ cup fresh lemon juiceVanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

Whisk together flour, ¼ cup sugar, baking powder, and ½ tsp. salt in a large bowl; add butter, and using your fingers, rub butter into flour until pea-size crumbles form. Add milk, and stir just until a moist dough forms; cover and refrigerate dough until ready to use.Heat oven to 400°. Bring remaining sugar and salt along with blueberries and citrus juices to a boil in a 12″ cast-iron or enamelware skillet over high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove pan from heat, and using two tablespoons, portion and form chilled dough into 2–3″ oval dumplings, and drop them evenly on top of the blueberry mixture. Sprinkle dough dumplings with sugar, and transfer skillet to oven; bake until biscuits are cooked through and blueberry mixture is reduced, about 25 minutes. Serve hot with vanilla ice cream, if you like.
