Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar, plus 1 1/2 cups
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 quart fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 cups water
- Vanilla ice cream or fresh cream, for serving
Directions
Stir flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, and salt together into a medium bowl. Cut butter into dry ingredients, using a pastry cutter or fork. Add milk to form dough. Set dumpling dough aside.
In a large saucepan, combine berries, 1 1/2 cups sugar, and water and bring to a boil. Drop dumplings into hot boiling berries by the tablespoonful. Cover pot, reduce heat to low, and cook slowly for 20 to 30 minutes. Do not remove the lid before 20 minutes has passed, and do not stir dumplings. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or fresh cream.

A delicious and easy dessert! I've used peaches a number of times too and it always comes out beautifully. I do add a little corn starch mixed with water to the fruit to make it nice and thick. And if the dumplings are too large, they will be a bit undercooked in the time prescribed. I also love that I can put this on the stove before sitting down to dinner and it's hot and ready by the dessert course. Vanilla ice cream is a must! Enjoy.

This dish was delicious and this will be a regular dessert in my house. I substituted the dry ingredients with Bisquick and added the sugar. I used fresh blueberries which I always have on-hand, but they were not sweet and this dish was the perfect use for them. Yummy!!!

I am surprised by the five star rating on this. It is ok and I enjoyed it but will not make again. The general agreement in the family is that there are a lot of other recipes that would have been a better use of our blueberries. Like others, I but the sugar to less than one cup which is plenty.
This essentially is a hot blueberry sauce with doughy dumplings. I that is what you want go for it.
If you try this you need to have good blueberries. trying this with frozen poor quality blueberries is likely to be a real problem.
