Earlier this year we had some building work done. There's now a lovely new 'dream shed' in our back yard! No pics yet as we're still painting it (and Canberra has been oddly rainy so that has reduced the opportunities to paint). Anyway, the builders were … sometimes a bit flaky. They'd do some building work then disappear, with no explanation, for a few days. Overall we were happy with their work but it was weird at the time. Anyway. I think the building foreman could tell I was getting irritated with his disappearing act as one time he showed up, presented me with about a kilo of fresh blackberries, and called it a peace offering. I froze the berries in several portions and they've been delicious. Tonight we ate the final few berries, which I mixed with cooked apple chunks, covered with a spongy topping, and served with whipped cream. Yum.
Here's how to make a super easy sponge topping for a warm dessert on a cool day:
125 grams butter
0.5 cup sugar
2 eggs
1.5 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
milk to mix (~0.5 to 0.75 cup)
Cream butter and sugar, add eggs then flour and baking powder, and lastly milk. Pour over hot fruit in a largish baking dish. Bake at 200 degrees Celsius for about 30 minutes.
