How To Make bumbleberry pandowdy

  • 1
    Whisk flour and salt. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water by the tablespoonful, mixing with a fork until it forms a mass that will hold together. Wrap in plastic wrap, refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  • 2
    Toss the berries with sugar, flour and cinnamon. Pour into a buttered 8 or 9" baking dish.
  • 3
    Roll the chilled dough to size of baking dish, cover the fruit and tuck the overhanging dough into the dish. Make 8-10 slits in the dough to vent steam. Place on a cookie sheet to catch drips.
  • 4
    Bake 400 degrees, 30 minutes. Remove from oven and "dowdy" by cutting the crust into 2" squares. Press into the bubbling fruit until halfway submerged.
  • 5
    Reduce heat to 350 degrees, bake 30-40 minutes, until browned and bubbling. Cool 20-30 minutes before serving.
