Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blue cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and beaten egg.
-
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
-
Bring a large pot of water to a simmer over medium heat.
-
Using a spoon, scoop out a portion of the batter and shape it into a small ball, about 1 inch in diameter. Repeat this step until all the batter is used.
-
Gently drop the dumplings into the simmering water, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and float to the surface.
-
Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the dumplings from the water and place them on a plate or in a bowl.
-
Serve the Blue Corn Dumplings warm in your favorite soup or stew. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs for an extra burst of flavor.

Enjoy the comforting combination of homemade dumplings and a hearty dish that will warm both your body and soul.
