Add 2 teaspoons of dried yeast following the instructions on the pack.

Add a pinch of salt.

Add 1 egg.

Add 200 milliliters of milk.

Knead the dough using a wooden spoon or a food mixer until smooth.

Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and leave to rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface.

Cut the dough into smaller pieces.

Flatten the pieces of dough using your hands.

Wash 300 grams of blueberries and place them on top of the dough pieces.

Fold each dough piece into a little pocket with the blueberries inside.

Press the edges together to close any gaps within the dough.

Repeat the same steps to make the rest of the dumplings.

Cover the dumplings with a kitchen towel and leave them to rest for about 5 minutes.

Boil water in a large pan and add a bit of salt.

Add the dumplings to the boiling water, making sure there is a little bit of space in between them.

Boil the dumplings for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, turn the dumplings over and boil them for another 5 minutes.

Once the dumplings are cooked, transfer them to a plate and serve while still hot, sprinkled with icing sugar and cocoa, and pour some melted unsalted butter over the top.
