  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the dough into the simmering blueberry mixture.

Notes

For best results, ensure that the lid remains on during cooking to properly steam the dumplings. Fresh blueberries work best for this recipe, but frozen ones can be used if fresh are unavailable. Adjust the sugar amount based on the sweetness of the blueberries.
