Blueberry Crumble Fluffins
Angela Rodgers
Blueberry Filling:
3 cups bluebrries
1/3 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 tbsp. pectin
1. Add blueberries, water, and sugar to a pot. Bring to a boil then simmer about 10-15 minutes.
2. Add the pectin and boil for another minute or so.
3. Set in refrigerator so the fill can cool and set up about an hour. While the blueberry fiiling is cooling start making the crumble.
Crumble:
1/2 cup sugar
4 tbsp. room temp. butter
1/2 cup flour
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine all ingredients until a crumble forms.
3. Sprinkle crumbles onto a greesed baking dish.
4. Bake for 20-30 minutes.
5. While crumble is cooling make the fluff batter.
Fluff Batter:
1 cup water divided
2 (1/4 oz.) envelopes unflavored gelatin
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1. Pour 1/2 cup of water into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Sprinkle the gelatin over the top of the water and set aside to hydrate while making the syrup.
2. In a saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup of water. Place over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil. Place a candy thermometer into the syrup and continue boiling, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 240 degrees F. Immediately remove from the heat.
3. Turn the mixer with the bloomed gelatin in the bowl on low speed, and slowly pour the hot syrup into the gelatin. Once all of the syrup has been added, gradually increase the speed to high.
4. Beat the sugar mixture until very thick. 3-5 minutes. You test to see if it's done by stopping the mixer, dipping the whisk attachment into the mixture and pulling it up; if a thick ribbon falls from the whick and forms on the mixture into the bowl, it's done.
5. Using a silicone cupcake dish layer starting with fluff batter, blueberry filling, more fluff batter then top with crumble.
6. Allow about 4 hours to rest, remove the Fluffins and toss in remaining crumble.
