I'm in Mama's kitchen.
0:04
I'm making blueberry dumplings today.
0:08
It's a dessert and we're gonna cook it.
0:09
And it's gonna be off the chain.
0:12
We're making dumplings to drop into our boil.
0:15
My mama makes cornbread drop dumplings
0:17
and she does it in pot liquor for Thanksgiving.
0:19
Same thing, except we're gonna drop dumplings
0:22
into smoking hot, cooking, black blueberries.
0:26
So the first thing we gotta do y'all is get our water going.
0:29
So I got two cups of water.
0:31
Get my stove turned on.
0:33
I'm gonna add a cup of sugar
0:38
and then I've got these beautiful, fresh blueberries.
0:40
I'm just gonna go ahead and put all these in.
0:44
And I want this to cook, cook, cook, cook, cook.
0:49
And we're gonna just let that go.
0:50
We need that to be boiling.
0:52
So let's move over here to our dumpings.
0:55
This is a simple dumpling mix that we're making using flour.
1:00
I've got baking powder
1:06
I'm also gonna add pinch of salt.
1:11
Let's mix this in and then into this,
1:15
I'm gonna cut some butter.
1:17
Now, when you cut butter in, they make
1:19
there's a beautiful pastry tool that you can use
1:21
but you gotta drawer full of 'em already.
1:22
If you wanna save a few bucks and just use a fork.
1:28
And as we cut the butter into this flour,
1:32
it's gonna get a little bit more crumbly,
1:33
a little bit more smooth.
1:38
This is kind of a boring part of baking,
1:40
but if you like to bake,
1:41
you've cut butter into flour more than one time.
1:44
So y'all gimme a second.
1:46
We're gonna add a little bit of milk to this,
1:48
and make our dumplings and that'll give us time
1:50
to boil our blueberries up.
1:52
Blueberry dumplings. Hot dog.
1:55
Okay. Y'all I got our butter cut in.
1:56
You see what that looks like?
1:59
It's kind of a, a crumbly type deal.
2:02
And now we got to make our dough.
2:04
So we're gonna add the milk.
2:09
And I'm gonna mix this up.
2:11
And if you look into our pot right next to here
2:13
you can see we've got our blueberries rolling.
2:17
Now, this is much like the peach cobbler that we make.
2:23
maybe the homemade dumplings that you had when
2:26
We're not gonna disturb these.
2:27
Once they go in here,
2:28
we're gonna cover 'em,
2:29
and let them cook undisturbed.
2:33
I've managed to grab the worst tool out
2:35
of a professional kitchen
2:36
in the whole world to mix this up.
2:39
I'm gonna fight through it.
2:43
It's hardheadedness prevails in the end.
2:47
And if I just keep doing it,
2:48
even though it's harder, it'll work.
2:52
All right, here we go.
2:56
Let me grab a teaspoon.
2:57
Do you see how hard that water's boiling?
3:05
I'm gonna drop these in.
3:12
God. It smells wonderful.
3:17
Now, once we get here, y'all do not stir.
3:23
I'm gonna drop these in,
3:24
and I'm gonna cover it.
3:27
And it's gonna sit covered for 20 minutes.
3:30
Hoowee! Y'all let me finish this up.
3:34
we eatin'''' blueberry dumplings.
3:39
Y'all were here with our blueberry dumplings.
3:41
I've cooked them for 25 minutes.
3:47
Clean up a little bit.
3:57
Who ever in a million years would've guessed.
4:02
And so now I've got my little bowl here
4:04
loaded up with my ice cream.
4:06
It's like a chicken pot pie, almost.
4:21
It's a new thing Theresa found.
4:22
This is real heavy whipping cream
4:26
All ready in a container.
4:31
Look how pretty that is!
4:33
That is blueberry dumplings, y'all.
4:44
and this is Good Food.
4:45
I'll see y'all around the kitchen.
