A cozy and traditional Quebecois dessert where fluffy dumplings steam gently in a sweet blueberry syrup. Easy to make, heartwarming, and perfect for sharing!

Ingredients

For the dumpling dough:

• 2 cups flour

• ½ tsp Dessert spice blend

• 2 tbsp sugar

• 4 tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp salt

• ¼ cup butter

• ¾ cup milk

For the blueberry syrup:

• 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

• 1 cup sugar

• ⅛ tsp Dessert spice blend

• 2 cups water

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the syrup
   In a large pot with a lid, combine the blueberries, sugar, Dessert spice blend, water, and vanilla (if using). Bring to a boil over medium heat.

2. Make the dough
   In a bowl, mix the flour, Dessert spice blend, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
   Add the butter and work it in with your fingers until you get a crumbly texture.
   Pour in the milk and stir just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.

3. Cook the dumplings
   Once the syrup is boiling, reduce to a gentle simmer.
   Drop spoonfuls of dough into the syrup (about 1 tbsp each).
   Cover with the lid and simmer gently for 15–20 minutes without lifting the lid. The dumplings will puff up and steam in the syrup.

4. Serve warm
   Spoon into bowls and serve with a bit of syrup. Perfect with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
