Blueberry Steamed Dumplings
These Blueberry Steamed Dumplings can be made two ways- steamed right in the pot using a flat kitchen splatter screen (handy kitchen hack for steamer basket) or turned into traditional boiled dumplings. This dumpling recipe is so fluffy and made from refrigerated Pillsbury Grand biscuit dough for an easy shortcut to traditional dumplings like grandma would make back in Ukraine (no one will even tell!)
Equipment
- 1 8-quart pot
- 1 kitchen splatter screen or steaming basket
- 1 Spatula
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 2 cans refrigerated biscuits, (Pillsbury buttermilk Grands)
- 24 oz fresh blueberries, (washed and patted dry)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
Directions:
- Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Place a splatter screen or steaming basket over the pot.
- Meanwhile cut each biscuit in half. Flatten and shape each half into a 3-inch circle.
- Place 4-5 blueberries into each circle and sprinkle with 1/8 tsp of sugar. Pinch ends together to seal the filling in.
- Steam dumplings over medium heat covered for 5-8 minutes. Dumplings are ready when they fluff up and the berries just begin to burst.
Notes
- *Sugar is optional.
- You can use any generic brand of refrigerated biscuits. Just be sure to cut the Grands in half.
