Blue skies.
Blue waters.
Blueberries!

These are the things of a Maine summer!

While I was breathing in that fresh air and watching boats rock back and forth, my little Julep enjoyed the comforts of home thanks to a puppy-watching pal. As a souvenir of sorts and a way of saying thanks, I made him a Maine inspired meal. To channel the blues of Maine, we ate a bit of dessert for brunch (or lunch depending on your timeframe) with this Blueberry Schlumpf.

As for the name? I guess it’s a Maine thing?

As for the taste? It’s a quickly gone sort of thing!

Makes two 8×8″ pans

For the filling
1 lb blueberries
1/2 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup raw cane sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup butter

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350 °F.

Mix the filling ingredients and put in two 8 x 8 baking dishes.

Mix the topping roughly (so that it’s still lumpy) and sprinkle over top.

Bake for 30 minutes. Serve hot with a dollop of homemade whipped cream (spiked with a bit o’ bourbon too!).
