In a mixing bowl combine the Bisquick, milk, and the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and mix together until a soft dough forms.  Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto the berry mixture and cook over low heat, uncovered, 10 minutes.  Cover pan and cook another 10 to 15 minutes or until the dumplings are cooked through.

If desired, combine some sugar and nutmeg and sprinkle over the dumplings just before serving.

I have had this recipe for several years.  I believe I got it from a TOH magazine.
