Blackberry Dumplings Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Pointsevenout / All my dishes 1 year, 5 months ago 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 to... More Prep:5m Cook:20m Servings:8	Pointseveno

Ingredients

4c blackberries

water

2c sugar

2T Butter

DUMPLINGS:

2c biscuit mix

2T butter

Milk

Directions

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 was just getting ready to look for a blackberry recipe and yours came up in my friend's list. I am so glad we are cooking friends as this sounds perfect!

I really do appreciate the 5-fork rating you gave my dish. But I would like you to make it first next time before rating it. I understand that you are eating the recipe with your minds eye, but a truer evaluation I would like with your taste buds. After all, it might not turn out like you think.
I just posted this recipe and haven't even posted the pics yet.

Don't be afraid to knead the dough a little longer than you would when making biscuits. Don't want the dumpling to fall apart as a biscuit would but don't want it hard and waxy either. A biscuit dough normally would get 8 to 16 kneads, so you can probably double that without getting too much gluten built up in the dough.

Love the sound of this one, I prefer no seeds, as my grandmother spoiled us all by straining it. Somehow, she ended up with 'dumplings' in the cobbler, and a browned biscuit crust on top..haven't mastered that one yet! Great recipe, thanks!

If you don't care for the seeds but still want the crushed berries, invest in a Foley Food Mill. It cost about $30. Crush the berries before starting the recipe, then follow the recipe. You won't have to strain the juice.

I'm not sure if I like the crust or dumplings better - either way this is a 5 forks recipe. = )

Was going to add this recipe to some dessert groups but I find I am not a member of any such group. Please submit for me this recipe in some appropriate groups.

Sounds really good! Blackberries are a favorite of mine...minus the seeds. Thanks for posting!

Found it! My grandmother used to make it like this.. She used her recipe for the dumplings.. but I don't. Thanks Point for the memory!
We would freeze the blackberrys and have this in the winter... Oh yeah!

Have you ever substituted raspberries for the blackberries? I have a big raspberry patch and I'm looking for ideas.

Give me a chance will ya! I just created this recipe a little over 24 hours ago. Yes, it is my own creation. Any close resemblance to another recipe is purely coincidental. I don't see any reason that raspberries would not work. Let me know how it turns out. You may have to adjust the sugar level to match your berries. Mother hates raspberries, so it probably will be the next day to never that I use raspberries in this recipe, or any other.

Yes!! Thanks for the black berry dumplings recipe. My husband is grumpy also and cobbler he said was not the same. HNe is the only one who wants the dumplings lol. But now I can hand him his recipe and he can do it. Hope to be added as a friend on your list.

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 fend off bears to get a bowl, LOL. Since I used blueberries...I did add a bit of orange rind to pump up the flavor quotient. Hey, I'm in Florida and I have oranges in abundance, thank goodness.

Okay...I got up bright and early to make this for breakfast! This was very good! I made it exactly as written, but I think next time I'll add a little less sugar. Thats just a personal preference though. I used a slightly different method for forming the dumplings. I pulled off small chunks of dough,(about 1 tbls. each) rolled them into balls, then flattened them. I didn't have the heart to strain out all those deliciously plump blackberries, so I skipped that step! And I didn't have to thicken the juices with flour. It was perfect as is. I think I'll try this again with blueberries! I added my photo :)
