Blueberry Dumplings



This is the first recipe I wish I never tried. I say this because it is yummy to the 10th power. When I have blueberries in the fridge it's all I want to make... but alas, like all (most) Paul Deen recipes, it's no where near healthy. Try it over vanilla bean ice cream, and you'll regret it... You'll be addicted and want it all the time. Great for entertaining or a quiet evening at home. Happy eating!

Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar, plus 1 1/2 cups
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 quart fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 cups water
  • Vanilla ice cream or fresh cream, for serving
Directions

Stir flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, and salt together into a medium bowl. Cut butter into dry ingredients, using a pastry cutter or fork. Add milk to form dough. Set dumpling dough aside.

In a large saucepan, combine berries, 1 1/2 cups sugar, and water and bring to a boil. Drop dumplings into hot boiling berries by the tablespoonful. Cover pot, reduce heat to low, and cook slowly for 20 to 30 minutes. Do not remove the lid before 20 minutes has passed, and do not stir dumplings. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or fresh cream.
