Title: Shortcut Blueberry Dumplings

Ingredients:
– 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup water
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

3. Reduce the heat to low and let the blueberry mixture simmer while you prepare the biscuits.
4. Separate the biscuits and cut each one into quarters to create smaller pieces.
5. Drop the biscuit pieces one at a time into the simmering blueberry mixture. Gently stir to coat the dough with the blueberry sauce.
6. Continue cooking the dumplings for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the biscuit pieces to slightly puff up and absorb the flavors of the blueberries.

8. Pour any remaining blueberry sauce over the dumplings in the baking dish.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
