I posted this in my journal, but here it is again. It's not exactly a pie, but it's similar and very easy..
Elderberry and Dumplings
Recipe:
2 cups berries
3/4 cup sugar
1 Tbs, flour
2 Tbs. lemon juice
3/4 cup water
Combine all the ingredients, heat them gently and keep them warm while you make the dumplings.
3/4 cup flour, sifted
11/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup lemon peel, grated
1/4 cup milk
1 egg
Add the other dry ingredients to the sifted and measured flour. Mix the milk and the egg in a small bowl and stir them into the flour combination until the dough is just blended. Now pour the hot berry mixture into a casserole and drop in small spoonfuls of the dumpling batter. Bake the dish at 400OF for 25 to 30 minutes until the pastry balls are lightly browned. Serve the dessert warm with cream or vanilla ice cream.
(for speed, I just used my home-made biscuit mix, and substituted whey for the milk because I just finished making some cheese)
