Follow The Directions

01

Step

Combine 4 cups blueberries, 1/2 cup white sugar, water, lemon zest, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a Dutch oven; cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and texture is jam-like, 10 to 12 minutes.

02

Step

Whisk lemon juice and cornstarch together in a small bowl until smooth; stir into blueberry mixture. Stir in remaining 4 cups blueberries; cook and stir until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove pot from heat; cover to keep warm.

03

Step

Combine buttermilk, butter, and vanilla extract in a measuring cup. Whisk flour, 6 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl; slowly stir in buttermilk mixture until a dough forms. Drop golf ball-sized scoops of dough using a small ice cream scoop or 2 large spoons onto blueberry mixture.

04

Step

Wrap lid of Dutch oven with a clean kitchen towel to absorb condensation during cooking; cover pot with towel-wrapped lid, keeping towel away from the heat source.

05

Step

Simmer grunt until dumplings have doubled in size and a toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean, 16 to 22 minutes.

06

Step

Whisk remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon together in a small bowl; sprinkle over dumplings.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of bourbon or a dash of almond extract to the blueberry mixture.
Ensure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh for the best rise in your dumplings.
Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an unforgettable dessert experience.

    I added a squeeze of lime juice instead of lemon and it was a refreshing change.

  • Melany Frami

    This recipe is fantastic! The dumplings were perfectly fluffy and the blueberry filling was bursting with flavor. Definitely a crowd-pleaser!

  • Lafayette Durgan

    Easy to follow recipe and the grunt was delicious! I will definitely be making this again.

  • Arden Wintheiser

    My family loved this! I added a pinch of nutmeg to the blueberry mixture and it gave it a lovely warm spice.

  • Emerald Predovic

    The dumplings were a little too dense for my liking. Next time, I'll try not to overmix the dough.

  • Gilbert Towne

    I was a bit skeptical about making this on the stovetop, but it turned out amazing! The towel trick for the lid is genius.

  • Ellsworth Barrows

    I used frozen blueberries (against the advice) and it was a little watery, but still tasty. Fresh blueberries are a must!

  • Kaci Kris

    This is a great alternative to blueberry pie when you don't want to turn on the oven. Thank you!

  • Jerrold Breitenberg

    Doubled the recipe for a large gathering and it was a hit! Highly recommend.
