Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tsp grated lemon rind
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup whole barley flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp butter, not softened
- 1/2 cup 1% milk
Instructions
- In a large saucepan with lid, combine blueberries, 1/3 cup (75 mL) sugar, water, lemon rind, lemon juice and cinnamon. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together barley flour, baking powder, 2 tsp (10 mL) sugar and salt. Cut in butter with two knives or a pastry blender, or work it into the flour mixture with your hands, until mixture is coarse crumbs. Add milk, stirring until mixture comes together and forms a soft, wet dough.
- Place 12 dollops of dough, about 1 Tbsp (15 mL) each, on blueberry sauce. Adjust heat so sauce is simmering very gently. Cover saucepan. Cook on low heat until dumplings are cooked through and slightly puffed, about 15 minutes, without lifting the lid.
- Spoon into six serving dishes and serve warm.
