The berries and biscuitlike dumplings cook right on the stove. Ingredients 1 pound frozen mixed berries 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 6 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar 1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled) 1 teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon baking soda ⅛ teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted ½ cup low-fat buttermilk ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon Directions In a medium skillet, cook berries, lemon juice, 4 tablespoons sugar, and 1/4 cup water over medium until slightly thickened, 11 to 13 minutes. Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar; add melted butter and buttermilk, and stir until a moist dough forms. Dividing evenly, spoon 6 dollops of dough over fruit. Combine cinnamon and 1 teaspoon sugar, and sprinkle over dough. Cover pan tightly with foil, and cook over medium-low until dumplings are set and tops are dry to the touch, about 15 minutes. Serve warm. Rate it Print
