Description
Tender homemade dumplings filled with fresh blueberries and sweet sugar. A classic comfort food perfect for a summer dessert or sweet meal.
Ingredients
- 1 lb blueberries, fresh
- 4 cups all-purpose flour, unbleached
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 tbsp sour cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 1/3 cup sugar, plus extra for serving
Instructions
- Whisk together warm water, buttermilk, sour cream, egg, and salt in a mixer bowl until blended.
- Using a dough hook, mix in 2 cups of flour on speed 2 until incorporated.
- Gradually add the remaining flour in small batches until the dough clears the sides of the bowl.
- Knead on speed 2 for about 15 minutes until the dough is soft and elastic.
- Roll half the dough on a floured surface to 1/8 inch thickness and cut into 3-inch circles.
- Place 1/2 tsp sugar and 5 blueberries in the center of each circle.
- Fold and pinch edges tightly to seal, ensuring no filling gets on the rim.
- Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
- Boil in salted water until they float, then cook 2 additional minutes.
- Drain and layer with sugar to prevent sticking before serving.
Notes
Ensure the dough edges are dry before sealing to prevent opening. You can substitute frozen blueberries if fresh are not available, but do not thaw them first.
