For approx. 4 portions
Dust the fresh blackberries with flour in a bowl so that all the berries are coated in flour. Carefully fold the warm milk, sugar, salt and egg into the berries a little at a time until you have a medium-firm dough. Melt the clarified butter in a heavy-based frying pan, use two tablespoons to gradually scoop out the blackberry mixture and spread it in a round shape in the pan (diameter approx. 5 - 6 cm). Bake the dumplings for approx. 3 minutes, turn and finish baking.
Sprinkle the blackberry dumplings with granulated sugar and enjoy hot with a glass of buttermilk.
