Cherries with Cinnamon Dumplings

prep 10 mins
total time 25 mins
servings 6

Ingredients

2 bags (16 ounces each) frozen dark sweet cherries
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup whole milk
Ice cream, for serving (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Combine cherries and 1/3 cup sugar in a large skillet. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-high; simmer rapidly until syrupy, 8 to 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and remaining tablespoon sugar; set aside.
Step 2

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually stir in milk, mixing just until a wet dough forms.
Step 3

Reduce heat to medium-low. Spoon tablespoons of dough (you should have about 18) over simmering fruit; sprinkle all with cinnamon-sugar.
Step 4

Cover skillet; simmer very gently until dumplings are set and dry to the touch, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve warm, with ice cream if desired.

Amazing. However, next time I'll add another cup of cherries; I used fresh and found there to not be enough to my liking.

I've made this many times, and have found that it works with a variety of berries. Instead of using frozen cherries, I've tried it with fresh blackberries and raspberries. It turns out great every time!
