In a large saucepan, combine blackberries, water, sugar, and lemon juice if using. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
While the berry mixture simmers, mix the dumpling batter: combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir in melted butter and milk until a soft dough forms.
Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the bubbling berries. Try to leave some space between each dumpling to allow them to puff up.
Cover the pan tightly with a lid and reduce heat to low. Let simmer for about 15 minutes — no peeking! The steam is what makes those dumplings soft and fluffy.
Once cooked, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of cream. 🫶
