BLACKBERRY DUMPLIN’S
If you follow this site, I am sure you know how much I like blackberries. I could eat blackberries everyday and I love having blackberries for dessert with any meal. This recipe for Blackberries and Dumplings has been one of my favorites since childhood. I can remember my Mama making blackberries and dumplings with wild blackberries we picked from the field. A friend brought me some blackberries recently and I had to make this for dessert Saturday night. If you have not had blackberry dumplings try this recipe for a treat your family will love.
Blackberries and dumplings is a recipe you will love trying for a new dessert.
Blackberry Syrup:
3 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
1/4 cup white granulated sugar
2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Dumplings
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (can use more if needed)
1/4 cup white granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
Combine blackberries, sugar, water and nutmeg in a saucepan on top of the stove. Bring to a boil, then turn down to medium boil and cover the pot. In a bowl whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix the milk into the flour mixture with a spoon. Your dough should be where you can flour your hands and pull off pieces and roll into balls about the size of a walnut. I just put some flour on a paper plate and flour my hands good to do this. You can add a little more flour to the dumplings if you need to so you can handle the dough. Remove lid from pot and drop in the dumplings. Replace the top and cook 5 to 7 minutes until dumplings are cooked. You should get 11 to 12 dumplings from your dough. Makes about six servings. (I consider a serving 2 dumplins’ with sauce ladled over them.) Serve with ice cream or whipped cream for dessert or a treat anytime. Enjoy!
