1/2 cup water (use warm water is using frozen berries)
2 tablespoons instant tapioca
2 cups all-purpose flour

|
| Instructions |
| In a 3 1/2-quart slow cooker, combine the blueberries, the 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the water, and tapioca. Cover and slow-cook until the berries have formed a thick sauce, 5 to 6 hours on low (200-degrees F.
In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, the remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, the baking powder, and salt to combine. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. In a small bowl, beat the milk and egg together. Stir into the flour mixture to form a soft dough.
Turn the heat to high (300-degreesF). Drop the dough by tablespoons on top of the blueberries. Cover and slow-cook until the topping is firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle the dumplings with the brown sugar.
Let the grunt stand for 5 minutes before serving, then spoon into individual bowls.
