How to Make Alaskan Cranberry Dumplings
- Combine 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries and 1/2 cup water in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, covered, until cranberries burst and liquid is colored (about 8-10 minutes).
- Strain the cranberries, reserving the cooking liquid. Set both aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
- Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Gradually add 2/3 cup milk, mixing gently until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 8-10 times.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 4-inch squares.
- Place a spoonful of the cooked cranberries in the center of each square. Sprinkle generously with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Moisten the edges of each square with water. Fold over to form a triangle and pinch to seal.
- Prick the top of each dumpling with a fork.
- In a saucepan, gently heat the reserved cranberry cooking liquid to a simmer. Add enough unsweetened cranberry juice and water to reach 2 cups of liquid (adjust for desired tartness).
- Carefully add the dumplings to the simmering liquid. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and float to the surface.
- Serve immediately alongside your favorite protein. Enjoy!
