Treat your whole family to this old-fashioned favorite from Liecha Collins of Oneonta, New York. This dessert is suitable for Sunday dinner and everyday suppers, too she relates. Ingredients:
1 quart fresh or frozen (loose-pack) blackberries |
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided |
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided |
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract |
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
2/3 cup milk |
cream or whipped cream, optional |
Directions:
1. In a Dutch oven, combine the blackberries, 1 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and extract; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, nutmeg, remaining sugar and salt. Add milk; stir just until mixed (dough will be very thick).
2. Drop by tablespoonfuls into six mounds onto simmering blackberry mixture. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a dumpling comes out clean (do not lift cover while simmering). Spoon into serving dishes. Serve with cream or whipped cream if desired. Yield: 6-8 servings.
