The base is a scrumptious mix of all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a dash of sea salt, bound together with chilled buttermilk and unsalted butter. The magic unfolds as you simmer this fruit medley in a fruity Riesling wine, creating a rich, aromatic base that's topped with a cinnamon-sugar dusted biscuit dough.
The cooking process is a delightful journey, starting from boiling the fruit mixture on your stovetop to the final broiling under your oven's broiler. The result? A perfectly cooked, slightly golden slump that's best enjoyed with a dollop of chilled heavy whipping cream. This recipe from Bon Appétit promises not just a meal, but an experience, balancing the right amount of sweetness, tanginess, and a hint of spice, making it a memorable addition to your table.
