Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 4 cups fresh blueberries
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp corn starch
Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine 4 cups of fresh blueberries with ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons corn starch. Stir gently until the ingredients are well incorporated and the blueberries are evenly coated.
- Assemble Filling: Pour the blueberry mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out to create a flat layer.
- Make the Topping: In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Cut in ¼ cup of cold, cubed unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Then stir in ½ cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until a soft batter forms.
- Top the Cobbler: Drop spoonfuls of the batter evenly over the blueberry filling, covering most of the surface but leaving some gaps for the berries to peek through.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbly.
- Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. This helps the filling to set and enhances the flavors.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, do not thaw to avoid excess liquid.
- For a richer topping, substitute half the milk with buttermilk.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra special treat.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
