- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Coat a 23 x 33 cm baking tin with nonstick cooking spray. Toss the peaches, blackberries or raspberries, 1/2 cup brown sugar, cornflour and lemon juice in a large bowl. Turn into the baking tin and bake for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the flour, pecan nuts, remaining brown sugar and nutmeg in a large bowl. Cut in the margarine with a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles very coarse crumbs. Add 3/4 cup milk and stir with a fork until a thick batter forms, adding water if necessary.
- Drop the batter on top of the fruit, spacing evenly, to make 12 dumplings. Lightly brush the dumplings with the remaining milk and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake until a skewer inserted in the centre of a dumpling comes out with moist crumbs sticking to it, 25–30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
COOK'S TIP
If you don't have self-raising flour, substitute 2 cups sifted plain flour mixed with 1 tablespoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. When fresh berries are not available, use 1 1/4 kg frozen blackberries or raspberries.
