Number Of Ingredients 15

8 cups (divided) fresh blueberries
1 teaspoon (divided) ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon cornstarch
3/4 cup buttermilk
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar
8 tablespoons (divided) white sugar

Steps:

  • Combine 4 cups blueberries, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, water, and lemon zest in a Dutch oven. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until mixture has thickened and has a jam-like texture, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Whisk lemon juice and cornstarch together in a small bowl until smooth. Stir into blueberry mixture.
  • Add remaining 4 cups blueberries to the blueberry mixture. Cook and stir until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove pot from heat and cover to keep warm.
  • Mix buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract together in a measuring cup. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 6 tablespoons sugar together in a large bowl. Slowly stir buttermilk mixture into flour mixture until dough forms.
  • Scoop dough using a small ice cream scoop or 2 large spoons and drop golf ball-sized dumplings atop blueberry mixture.
  • Wrap lid of Dutch oven with a clean kitchen towel to absorb condensation during cooking. Cover pot with the towel-wrapped lid, keeping towel away from heat source.
  • Simmer grunt until dumplings have doubled in size and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 16 to 22 minutes.
  • Mix 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 2 tablespoons white sugar together in a small bowl. Sprinkle over dumplings.
