Combine blackberries, sugar, water and nutmeg in a saucepan on top of the stove. Bring to a boil, then turn down to medium boil and cover the pot. In a bowl whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix the milk into the flour mixture with a spoon. Your dough should be where you can flour your hands and pull off pieces and roll into balls about the size of a walnut. I just put some flour on a paper plate and flour my hands good to do this

You can add a little more flour to the dumplings if you need to so you can handle the dough. Remove lid from pot and drop in the dumplings. Replace the top and cook 5 to 7 minutes until dumplings are cooked. You should get 11 to 12 dumplings from your dough. Makes about six servings.

(I consider a serving 2 dumplings' with sauce ladled over them.) Serve with ice cream or whipped cream for dessert or a treat anytime.
