6 c. fresh or unsweetened frozen blueberries
1 c. water
1 c. sugar mixed with 1 tsp. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. cinnamon (scant)
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 3/4 c. unbleached, all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. baking powder
6 tbsp. butter
About 3/4 c. milk

In large, stainless-steel, 12-inch skillet or saucepan, combine berries, water, sugar-cornstarch mixture, cinnamon and nutmeg. Bring to boil, then simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

In mixing bowl, sift flour, salt and baking powder. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make well in center and pour in milk. Mix just enough to combine. Drop by spoonfuls over berries. Cover tightly and steam 15 to 20 minutes, keeping heat just high enough to allow berries to bubble. Serve warm in bowls with unsweetened cream. Serves 6 to 8.
