This is a handed down recipe. Jason's Mom came up with this idea (so I am told) but at their house it is called "Slop". At their house it is made with blackberries, at ours, blueberries.
We use a combination of fully ripened berries and some that are just barely red. When we pick berries we pick everything that doesn't have any white on it. The blueberries in our cake are a little tart. You may want to adjust your sugar according to the sweetness of your berries.
Ingredients:
4 Cups Blueberries1/2 tsp Cinnamon
2 Cups Sugar - divided
1 Stick of Butter
2 Cups Flour
2tsp baking powder
1 Cup Milk
1Tbs Cornstarch
1 Cup Water to boil
Make:
1. Use stick of butter to butter a 9x13 pan. Preheat oven to 375. Pour berries into pan & sprinkle with cinnamon (or, if you are brave, just dust the top of the berries)
2. Mix together: 1 cup sugar, flour, melted remains of the stick of butter, baking powder, and milk together. Spread over berries evenly.
3. Mix together remaining 1 Cup sugar (or 3/4 if your berries are super sweet) and cornstarch and spread over batter.
4. Heat water to boiling (on stove or in microwave) and pour over all the ingredients.
5. Bake for 1 hr or until top is brown and hard, and the blueberries are boiling.
6. Cool for 10-15mins and serve making sure to flip it over so the berries are on the top. Or, eat cold for a fantastic breakfast!
