Ingredients

• 2 cups Fresh blueberries
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 cups Water
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.125 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the blueberries, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, water, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.

Step 2

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer while you prepare the dumpling dough.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Step 4

Add the chilled, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers, a pastry cutter, or a fork to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Stir in the milk and vanilla extract, mixing gently until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough into the simmering blueberry mixture. Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.

Step 7

Cook for 10-12 minutes without lifting the lid, allowing the dumplings to steam and cook through.

Step 8

After 10-12 minutes, check that the dumplings are cooked by inserting a toothpick or skewer into the center of one. It should come out clean.

Step 9

Serve the blueberry dumplings warm, either as is or with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
