Today's recipe selection from the Green Eggs and Ham Cookbook was called Blueberry Bumplings. Seems that the Cat in the Hat ate them but can't say I've ever heard of them.
The recipe said that they were "surprisingly like blueberry scones" but as we started to gather the ingredients I soon realized that if they were supposed to come out like scones, I would need to alter the recipe (despite Izzy's pleas to just "Do what the book says.") If I did I think we would have baked up some "gloppity-glop" so instead I made a few minor changes and we produced lovely blueberry scones.

Hey, thanks for posting this :) I actually own the cookbook, but since we're moving it's in a big box and I really wanted to make these with my little sister- so this post saved us :) The bumplings turned out to be DELICIOUS and they get so much bigger when baked then they do when you put them in, so for everyone making these, be mindful of that ;)
