Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 240 milliliters Water
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 15 milliliters Lemon juice
- 180 grams All-purpose flour
- 10 grams Baking powder
- 1 gram Salt
- 30 grams Unsalted butter (cold)
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 5 milliliters Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large saucepan, combine the blueberries, water, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture begins to simmer. Reduce the heat to low to keep it at a gentle simmer.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the milk and vanilla extract to the flour mixture. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The dough should be slightly sticky.
Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough into the simmering blueberry syrup. Leave enough space for each dumpling to expand while cooking.
Cover the saucepan with a lid and cook on low heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the dumplings are puffed up and cooked through. Avoid lifting the lid too often to ensure the dumplings cook properly.
Once done, remove the lid and allow the dumplings to cool slightly in the syrup for a few minutes.
Serve warm, spooning the blueberry syrup over each dumpling. Optionally, top with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
