Cooking Directions
-
Place blackberries, sugar, water, butter, and cinnamon in a large saucepan. Cook and stir occasionally over medium-low heat until blackberries have started to break down and form a sauce, about 20 to 30 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, whisk flour and salt together in a mixing bowl. Cut in shortening with a knife or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir egg yolk into crumbs and add milk, a tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork, until the flour mixture is moistened. Do not add more milk than you need: when you squeeze a handful of the moistened pastry mixture, it should form a ball. Divide the dough in half and shape into balls.
-
Roll one ball into a 1/4-inch thick round, like a pie crust. Using a floured knife cut lengthwise 2 to 3 inch wide strips of dough. Repeat with the second ball of dough.
-
Holding each strip of dough over the boiling blackberries pinch off 4-inch lengths and drop into the berries. Repeat until all the dough has been used. Cook dumplings over medium heat for 15 minutes. You may push the dumplings down into the juice but do not stir until they are fully cooked or they will clump together.
