Blueberry Fungy Adventures

Hello Sugar Lovers!So it has been awhile….I have recently moved so things were a little chaotic for awhile. However I am back and with a big new kitchen! Can’t wait to show it to you guys in some upcoming videos. I know I was doing some Pandemic Baking before I took my little hiatus. However I am happy to say that I am now back to work. I live in Canada so we are not doing to bad as far as new Covid Cases. I am very thankful that I am back to work and I hope anyone who isn’t yet gets to go back soon. Stay positive and we will get through this. I hope everyone is doing well and in good health.However if you are feeling a little bit unwell during this time lets get you feeling better with some Blueberry Fungy! If you have never had this before you are missing out. I had never even heard of it until I went to Nova Scotia with my parents to visit my family when I was younger. I am sorry to say that I will not be giving the family secrets of the Blueberry Fungy away. I will try my best to give you little tips as we go though. As always on The Baking Project we give credit where credit is due. I found this recipe on The Big Oven and I will link their site down below as well as the Ingredients /Instructions List. Alright guys, let’s get to it!So I did mine a little differently. I decided to make the doughboys first to get that out of the way. So your going to mix all of your doughboy ingredients together (all purpose flour, baking soda, sugar, salt and shortening) It’s going to take a little while to mix it all up and make sure you add enough water as you need. Add it into the bowl in small doses until it is a smooth dough. It doesn’t have to be super incredibly smooth or anything….wow great description Ashley.  Don’t be alarmed if they are a bit sticky.After I was done with the doughboys I placed the dough in a bowl and put it off to the side while I made my blueberry sauce. I am not sure if that is what you are suppose to do but it felt right at the time. I always like to get the more hands on work done first for some reason. Next your going to make your blueberry sauce. Add your sauce ingredients into a pot (blueberries, water and sugar) Your going to gently boil this down. They did it while they were making their dumplings. So I just left it for a little while and occasionally check on it. I am not entirely sure what “gently boil down” means but I am guessing it is a nice way of saying “don’t burn your sauce”. Once your sauce has boiled down a bit go ahead and uncover your dough. Make some dough balls out of these. You can make them as big or as small as you like. Mine were about a medium size. When your done with that place them into the pot with the sauce and let them cook a little longer. Now I think I could have cooked mine for a bit longer. I guess I was just to excited…but can you blame me? So once your happy with the finished product you are going to scoop some into a bowl and add a little bit of cream. Obviously I was unprepared for this and forgot to get more cream. I used what was left for mine and then I used Vanilla cream for Cody’s and he seemed to really like it…look at that I’m an innovator. That’s it guys!
