Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat blackberries and sugar to a gentle boil.

- Spoon the dough onto the berries.
- Cook uncovered for 10 minutes.
- Cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions
For a thicker filling, consider adding a tablespoon of cornstarch to the blackberries and sugar mixture. If you don't have Bisquick, you can make a homemade version using equal parts flour, baking powder, and salt. For a twist, add a dash of vanilla or cinnamon to the dough. This dish can be served warm or at room temperature, making it versatile for any occasion.
Serving Suggestions
These blackberry dumplings are delightful on their own but are elevated with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a more indulgent experience, serve with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a sprinkle of crushed nuts. They pair beautifully with a side of Kathy's Corn Bread for a comforting meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the dumplings in a saucepan over low heat, adding a splash of milk to prevent drying out, and stir gently until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the dumplings tough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen blackberries instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen blackberries, but be sure to thaw and drain them first to avoid excess moisture in the dish. You may also need to adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the frozen berries.
What can I substitute for the Bisquick mix?
If you don't have Bisquick, you can make your own mix by combining 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This homemade mix will work just as well in the recipe.
How do I know when the dumplings are done cooking?
The dumplings are done when they have risen slightly and are firm to the touch. You can also insert a toothpick in the center of one; if it comes out clean, they are ready to serve.
