Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh blueberries
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large skillet or wide saucepan with a lid, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Place the skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the blueberries begin to release their juices, about 5 minutes.
While the blueberries are cooking, prepare the dumpling dough. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix as the dough should remain soft and fluffy.
Once the blueberry mixture comes to a gentle boil, reduce the heat to low and use a tablespoon or small scoop to drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough onto the blueberry mixture. Leave some space between the dumplings, as they will expand during cooking.
Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the dumplings to steam and cook through for 15-20 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time to ensure the dumplings cook evenly.
After 15-20 minutes, check if the dumplings are fully cooked by inserting a toothpick into one; it should come out clean. The dumplings should be puffed and firm to the touch.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the slump cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat!
