How to Make Berry Dumplings

  1. In a large microwave-safe casserole dish, combine 3 cups fresh blackberries, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¼ cup water.
  2. Microwave on high for 5 minutes. Gently stir.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ cup cold unsalted butter (cut into small pieces) until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in ¾ cup milk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter over the berry mixture in the casserole dish.
  6. Microwave, covered, on high for 5-7 minutes, or until the dumplings are fluffy and cooked through. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave.
  7. Let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
