Quickly stir into flour mixture just to combine. Beat egg white to soft peaks and fold into batter. Set aside.

In a 4 quart Dutch Oven or other non-reactive pan with a lid, add 2 cups water, the remaining 1 cup sugar, cinnamon and ginger and bring to a boil.

Add fruit and simmer for 3 minutes. Do not overcook the fruit.

Drop the dumpling batter by spoonfuls into simmering fruit. Cover and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until dumplings are firm. Serve warm with a dollop of creme fraiche and a sprig of mint.
