Equipment
- 9x13-inch baking dish
- mixing bowls
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Cobbler Topping
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- additional sugar for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine blueberries, 1 cup of sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss gently to ensure the blueberries are evenly coated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt for the cobbler topping.
- Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined to form a batter.
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour half of the batter into the prepared dish and spread it evenly.
- Spoon the prepared blueberry mixture evenly over the batter layer in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining batter over the fruit, making sure some of the blueberries are still visible through the topping.
- Sprinkle a little extra sugar over the top of the cobbler for a sweet crust.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbling.
- Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly.
Notes
- Frozen blueberries can be used without thawing; they will release more juice during baking.
- Adjust the sugar in the filling based on the natural sweetness of your blueberries. For an added warm spice, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon.
- The topping is meant to be rustic; don't worry about making it perfectly uniform. Serve warm for the best experience.
Notes
Frozen blueberries do not need to be thawed before use; they will release more juice. Adjust sugar quantity based on the sweetness of the fruit. Cinnamon is optional; add for a warm flavor profile. The topping should be rustic and uneven; uniformity is not required. Best served warm, approximately 20-30 minutes after baking.
