One last new recipe coming in at the tail end of May – Blackberries and Dumplings. Recipe’s from this instagram post<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had mentioned a couple of posts ago that I’d gotten a craving for apple strudel and might make that, but it’s getting hot enough here now that I really don’t want to run the oven. Which is where this recipe comes in. It’s similar to a cobbler, but it’s cooked entirely on the stove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It occurred to me after I stuffed the above into my gob that maybe I should have taken a photo of the inside of one of the dumplings to show the contrast, so here’s a less decorative pic of the remnants in the pot with one of them cut in half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just made half a recipe, which was a little tricky because the amounts of the full recipe don’t lend themselves to easy splitting – e.g. calls for one egg, which I wasn’t going to split, so I had to adjust the amount of milk, and ended up having to add extra flour to get it to the right consistency. As a result of that, I ended up having to stir it more than I think I should have as I added the extra flour a tablespoon at a time, and they ended up a little tough. Other than halving it, the only change I made was using frozen blackberries rather than fresh – I’d have ended up paying three times as much for fresh to get the amount I needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Very, very tasty, though, and I can absolutely see its potential if I can cut down the stirring time and get them more tender. The dough is very lightly sweet, with most of the sweetness coming from the berry compote. Will absolutely add this into my summertime “let’s not use the oven” rotation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
