Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt, then stir in milk until a shaggy dough forms. Don’t over mix.

Step 2

Cut in butter until mixture is fully incorporated.

Step 3

In a large saucepan or skillet over medium-high heat, stir together blueberries with sugar, water, lemon juice and zest, cinnamon and nutmeg, and bring to a boil.

Step 4

Stir in vanilla extract and cook for another 1-2 minutes, then break off pieces of dumpling dough and drop them (carefully) onto blueberry mixture.

Step 5

Repeat until dough covers most of blueberries, then cover the reduce heat to low. Cook for 27 minutes, or until biscuits are cooked through. (Make sure to not uncover biscuits as they’re cooking, as this will allow steam to escape and they won’t rise or cook properly.)

Step 6

Uncover and serve hot with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
