Summer Cornmeal Slump with Mango and Blueberry

Ingredients

• 1 cup blueberries, washed and dried
  
• 1 large fragrant, ripe but firm mango, cut into cubes (for a great tutorial on how to hedgehog your mango, head here: http://food52.com/blog...), yield should be about 1 ½ cups OR equal amount of strawberries, hulled and chopped
  
• 2 teaspoons lemon zest, divided
  
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for buttering your dish
  
• 3/4 cup fine grind gluten free stone-ground cornmeal or corn flour – I used Bob’s Red Mill brand (do not substitute mesa, which is soaked in lime)
  
• 2 tablespoons medium grind gluten free stone-ground cornmeal
  
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  
• 7 tablespoons sugar, divided
  
• 1/2 cup well-shaken buttermilk
  
• 2 large eggs
  
• 3 tablespoons crème fraiche
  
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375° F.
2. Butter a 9-inch ceramic deep-dish pie plate or similar dish. Gently toss blueberries and mango cubes with 1 T sugar and 1 t lemon zest in dish. Arrange fruit in a mostly single layer.
3. Melt butter in a bowl in the microwave (about 30 seconds). Set aside.
4. In a medium bowl, combine cornmeals, baking powder, and salt, remaining zest and remaining sugar. Whisk dry ingredients together thoroughly to combine.
5. Add melted butter to dry ingredients, using a spatula to scrape out the bowl. Fold until combined. Fold in remaining ingredients (buttermilk through maple syrup); making sure each is uniformly mixed into batter before adding the next.
6. Pour the batter over fruit and bake for 35-38 minutes, or until slump is fragrant, top is golden, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Serve and enjoy slump warm with vanilla ice cream. It occurred to me that if by chance you had any leftovers, it would make a divine and slightly indulgent breakfast (whip cream optional).
