I make these in an electric frypan. Try topping them off with vanilla ice cream, or even whipped cream while they are still hot. Awesome!

BLUEBERRY DUMPLINGS
One of my childhood memories is picking wild blueberries with my siblings when our family went camping in northern Ontario - then my mother would make blueberry dumplings for us! This recipe from Jim Dodge, Food & Beverage Manager at the Getty Center in L.A., is much better - sorry mom! Wild blueberries are best - but cultivated or frozen blueberries or even Saskatoons will work. Top with creme fraiche or whipped cream.

Steps:
- Filling: Adjust oven rack to the lowest level and preheat oven to 350°F.
- Wash the berries in a bowl of cold water, remove any leaves or stems and drain well.
- In a 2 ½ to 3 quart casserole with a tight fitting lid, stir together the sugar and water until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the berries and cover with the lid.
- Bake on the lower rack for about 30 minutes or until the filling gives off a little steam.
- While the filling is baking, begin preparing the batter so that you are able to make the dumplings quickly.
- Dumplings: In a medium size bowl blend together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Pour the milk into a small saucepan.
- Cut the butter into small pieces and add to the milk.
- Warm over moderate heat until the milk is warm and the butter is almost completely melted.
- Turn off the heat and leave the mixture in the saucepan on the burner so that the milk stays warm and butter stays melted.
- Get ready in your workspace: a fork to mix with and two large oval soupspoons to form the dumplings.
- When the blueberry filling is ready, remove the casserole from the oven, but do not remove the lid.
- With a fork, stir the milk mixture into the flour only until the milk has been absorbed.
- The batter should look lumpy and under mixed.
- Remove the lid from the top of the casserole and keep it close by.
- Drop large spoonfuls of the batter on top of the blueberry mixture forming first a circle and then filling in the center of the circle.
- The dumplings will sink a little.
- Return the lid to the top and place back into the oven.
- Continue cooking for 15 minutes.
- Do not remove the lid until this baking time has elapsed.
- Remove from the oven and place on a rack.
- Remove the lid and let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
- Whip the crème fraîche (or whipping cream) until thickened.
- To serve, spoon into deep bowls and top with a dollop of cream fraîche or whipping cream.

Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries. Fresh blueberries are ideal, but frozen blueberries can also be used. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them before using.
- Use a large pot. The dumplings will need room to expand as they cook, so make sure to use a large pot.
- Don't overcrowd the pot. The dumplings should be cooked in a single layer, so don't overcrowd the pot. If necessary, cook the dumplings in batches.
- Cook the dumplings until they are cooked through. The dumplings should be cooked until they are light and fluffy, and the blueberries should be tender.
- Serve the dumplings warm. Blueberry dumplings are best served warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
