A slump is similar to a cobbler but with less fuss. Berries bubbling through the topping give this a more rustic feel. It cooks from frozen with ease.

Method

• step 1

  Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Mix the brown sugar, cornflour, mixed spice, star anise and vanilla. Toss with the berries, and tip into 20cm x 30cm buttered ovenproof dish.

• step 2

  Sieve the flour into a bowl, add the sugar, spices, a pinch of salt, and beat in the melted butter, and enough buttermilk to make a thick, smooth mix that just falls off the spoon.

• step 3

  Spoon large dollops of the dough over the berries, don’t worry if it doesn’t cover it completely. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden and crisp.

• step 4

  Leave to sit for 20 minutes, then serve warm with custard or cream, or allow to cool completely.

• step 5

  Wrap the slump in clingfilm and freeze until solid. To reheat, remove the clingfilm, cover in foil and heat the oven to 160/fan 140C/gas 3. Reheat the slump for 50 minutes – 1 hour until bubbling, and the middle is piping hot when poked with a metal skewer. Serve with custard or cream.
