Blueberry Dumplings

Few things hit quite like a warm bowl of fruit-studded dumplings on a chilly evening.

This recipe keeps it beautifully simple: a quick soft dough gets dropped by the spoonful into a pot of sweet, simmering blueberries.

The dumplings puff up, soak in all that berry goodness, and turn into something that tastes like it took way more effort than it actually did.

Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of heavy cream and you’ve got yourself a dessert that feels like a hug from grandma.

Kitchen Tips

• Don’t stir the dumplings once you drop them in. Let them steam with the lid on so they cook evenly and stay fluffy.
• Use fresh or frozen blueberries here. Frozen berries actually release more juice, which makes for a richer sauce.
• The dough should be soft and sticky, not stiff. If it seems dry, add a splash more milk until it just holds together.
