How to Make Blackberry Dumplings

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, 1 cup milk, 2 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, combine 1 cup water, 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar, and 4 cups fresh blackberries.
  6. Bring the blackberry mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blackberries soften and the sauce slightly thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter onto the simmering blackberry mixture.
  8. Cover the skillet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and cooked through. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  9. Serve the dumplings warm, spooned generously over the blackberry sauce.
