As I threatened, I made the blueberry grunt featured in a recent post on VeganYumYum. I followed Lolo's recipe basically to a T, so I am not going to reproduce it here except for changes, suggestions, etc.
I made the one-big-grunt-steamed-in-a-pan version. Not as cute as the individual grunts, but I think less work. They came out pretty well - well enough that gina marie, roommate emily and I all cleaned our plates. I think that next time i will make smaller "pieces" of grunt though, not cook the blueberries down so much, and maybe have a higher berry to dough ratio.
the wet stuff... I had two plastic boxes of blueberries, and gina marie had a handful of leftover raspberries and strawberries and I popped those in too.
berries simmered for about 20 minutes - probably a little too long. I guess I thought they needed to be really thick to hold up the biscuit. Not actually true!
My attempt to "cut" in the earth balance. I mushed it as best I could with a fork and then put it in the fridge.
added the soymilk - I only had unsweetened vanilla, so that's what I used. I should have taken my rings off first.
really should have taken off the rings. I maybe shouldn't have used my hands because hands are warm, but I wasn't sure how else to manage it without overmixing.
this was tricky, I had no idea what I was doing - I should have followed instructions and made *bite-sized* biscuit pieces, but they were so sticky!
it was weird looking, but pretty.
lid on! no peeking - except I have a clear lid!
and done
done
done!

Sticky baking hands are hilarious. I know those, too. Somehow that doesn't happen on cooking television! Happy to see that you are eating good sarah.
