Blackberry Dumplings

2 bags frozen blackberries
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
1/3 cup water
2 cups buttermilk biscuit baking mix
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/3 cup water

Place blackberries in large covered pot, add 1/2 cup of the sugar and water and bring to a boil.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix baking mix, milk, egg, oil and remaining 1/2 cup sugar to form a dough, not as thin as pancake dough and not as thick as biscuit dough, to be dropped from spoon.

Drop by spoonful into boiling berries, spacing over top of pot. Reduce heat immediately to medium low and cover. Steam for approximately 15 minutes. Do not remove lid for first 15 minutes so dumplings will cook through. Serve topped with whipping cream.
