Blueberry Dumplings (Blueberry Grunt)
Description
Blueberry Dumplings cook fresh or frozen blueberries in a sweetened and lightly spiced sauce flavored with lemon juice and cinnamon. The fruit is brought to a boil and reduced to a simmer before dropping mounds of a sticky dough mixture on top. The dough is made by combining flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, melted butter, and buttermilk to achieve a soft consistency.
Covered and gently steamed over the bubbling fruit for 15 minutes, the dumplings become fluffy with a delicate crust, soaking up juices from the berries underneath. This method results in tender dumplings with a subtle tang from the lemon and cinnamon warmth from the spice.
Served hot, spooning both dumplings and berries into bowls creates a warm, fruity dessert often paired with vanilla ice cream to add creamy contrast. The recipe notes that buttermilk can be substituted with a yogurt and milk mixture to achieve similar moisture and tanginess in the dough.
You can substitute the buttermilk with a mixture of plain yogurt and a little milk to get a similar consistency.
