Blueberry Dumplings.........oh my!

Ok, I snagged this from my Facebook Wall and just HAVE to
save it here so I can easily find it again.....no offense to Face-
book, but you all understand what I mean....right?  I can just
see the possibilities of using all types of fruit for this, even
apples.  Enjoy!

FRESH BLUEBERRY DUMPLINGS 

If you love blueberries, but have never had warm blueberry 
dumplings spooned over creamy vanilla ice cream, you’ve 
missed an extra-special summer treat! These dumplings 
are both quick and simple to make. 

2 ½ C. fresh blueberries
1/3 C. sugar
dash salt
1 C. water
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 C. flour
2 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. butter
½ C. milk

Bring berries, sugar, salt, and water to a boil in a saucepan. 
Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Add lemon juice. Mix together 
dry ingredients in a separate bowl, cut in butter till the consistency 
of a coarse meal. Add milk all at once, then stir only until the dry
ingredients are dampened. 

Drop the batter from tip of a spoon into the bubbling blueberry sauce. 
(Tip – dip your spoon first into the blueberry sauce before dipping into 
the batter. The dumplings will slide right off the spoon this way!) Don’t 
let them overlap. Cover the saucepan with a lid and cook over low heat 
for about 10 minutes, without peeking (important!). Serve dumplings 
warm by themselves or over ice cream.

I guess the origin of this is from the Facebook page below.
