*Blueberry Dumplings*
(Serves: 6)

INGREDIENTS
2 1/2 cups blueberries
Honey
Salt
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup whole wheat fine flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 Tablespoon butter
1/2 cup non-fat milk

Mix blueberries, 3-4 Tablespoons honey, dash of salt and 1 cup water in medium saucepan; bring to a boil, simmer, covered, for 5 minutes; add lemon juice. Mix flour, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt together, cut in butter until it is the consistency of coarse meal. Add 1-2 tablespoons honey, continuing to cut in to make the coarse meal. Add milk all at once; stir just until flour is dampened. Drop from tablespoon into simmering blueberry mixture. Cover tightly; cook over low heat for 10 minutes without removing cover.
I made the dumplings in two batches. Add water to the blueberry mixture if needed for the second batch.
These dumplings taste best hot! Serve immediately with blueberry mixture.
