Add 4 cups of frozen blueberries to a pot over slightly above medium heat.

Stir in 1/2 cup of white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of bottled lemon juice.

Stir the mixture until it starts to bubble, then set it aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of white sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Mix in 1/2 cup of butter by pinching it into the flour mixture until it resembles fine crumbs.

In another bowl, whisk together 2/3 cup of milk and 1 egg.

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and stir until just mixed.

Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the bubbling blueberry mixture.

Cover the pot with a lid and let it cook on low heat until the dumplings are cooked through.
