This is a recipe for my grumpy old mother today. I made a beautiful blackberry cobbler from "sunny's" recipe and mum wouldn't eat it because there was not dumplings, just a top crust of biscuits. So here's a recipe for blackberry dumplings I threw together this morning. Read more After all, she is the one that kept the bears at bay whilst picking the berries. See less
Ingredients
- 4c blackberries shopping list
- water shopping list
- 2c sugar shopping list
- 2T butter shopping list
- DUMPLINGS: shopping list
- 2c biscuit mix shopping list
- 2T butter shopping list
- milk shopping list
How to make it
- Put blackberries in dutch oven with small amount of water. Add sugar and butter; cover and boil 2 minutes. Strain the berries and discard (if desired). Return blackberry juice to kettle, bring to boil and reduce to a simmer. I leave the berries in the mix.
- Cut butter into biscuit mix to form small lumps. Mix, adding just enough milk to make the dough come together in a ball in your hand that will not crumble. Turn out on floured surface, knead until not sticky. Roll out thin and cut into squares or diamonds. Drop into boiling juice a couple dumplings at a time and stir to coat. It will keep the dumplings from sticking together. Reduce heat and cook slowly uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Thicken juice with a flour-water paste if you put a little too much water in the blackberries; use the flour from the work surface, sifted from lumps; cook 3 minutes longer.

I like the dumplings in the berries way better than just a crust topping. I don't have blackberries fresh picked but I have a freezer full of blueberries. You should've seen Fred gobble this up, and he is my resident grump. And he didn't even fen...more
