Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 4 Apricots (pitted and quartered)
- 0.5 cup Blueberries
- 2 Plums (pitted and sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 3 cups Water
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the milk to the dry mixture, stirring gently until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
In a medium saucepan, combine the apricots, blueberries, plums, brown sugar, cinnamon, and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract and reduce the heat to low. Let the fruit mixture simmer gently while preparing the dumplings.
Using a spoon or your hands, shape the dough into small golf-ball-sized dumplings.
Carefully place the dumplings into the simmering fruit mixture, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and let the dumplings cook for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fluffy and cooked through.
Remove the dumplings from the heat and allow them to cool slightly for a few minutes.
Serve the dumplings warm, ladled with the fruit mixture and syrup from the pan. Garnish with powdered sugar if desired.
