Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp fine salt
- 1 1/4 cups sugar, divided
- 4 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 cups Concord or wild grapes, fresh or frozen
Method
- Combine the grapes with 3/4 cup of the sugar and 2 cups water in a large pot. Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer 10 minutes, mashing some grapes to release their juice.
- Meanwhile rub the butter into the flour, baking powder, salt and remaining 1/2 cup sugar until crumbly. Stir in the milk to make a soft dough.
- Drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto the simmering grape mixture, spacing them apart.
- Cover tightly and simmer 15 minutes without lifting the lid, until the dumplings are puffed and cooked through.
- Serve warm, spooning the grape sauce over the dumplings.
