Take out 4 cups of frozen blueberries from the fridge.

Add 1.5 cups of brown sugar and 0.5 teaspoon of sea salt to a large saucepan with the blueberries.

Add 0.25 cup of water to the saucepan.

Put the saucepan on medium heat and let it start to boil and break down the blueberries.

In a bowl, combine 1.5 cups of sifted flour, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, and 3 teaspoons of baking powder.

Mix the dry ingredients lightly.

Add 1 cup of fresh milk and 0.25 cup of melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until blended.

Once the blueberry mixture is boiling, use a tablespoon to pinch off pieces of dough and drop them into the blueberries.

Cover the saucepan with a lid and cook for about 5 minutes to lock in the steam.

After 5 minutes, flip the doughboys over to coat them in blueberry juice and continue cooking until done.

Once cooked, remove the doughboys into a bowl.

Repeat the process to make more doughboys if desired.

To serve, place doughboys in a wafer bowl or directly in a bowl.

Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the doughboys.

Pour some of the blueberry juice over the ice cream and doughboys.

Top with thick cream or whipped cream and additional blueberries.
