Ingredients

For the Blueberry Filling

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cobbler Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

For Serving

  • Vanilla ice cream, as desired


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Blueberry Filling: In a large bowl, gently combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until the berries are evenly coated.
  3. Transfer Filling: Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer for consistent baking.
  4. Prepare Topping Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to create a uniform dry mix.
  5. Add Wet Ingredients to Topping: Stir in the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients, mixing just until a thick, smooth batter forms without overmixing.
  6. Assemble Cobbler: Spoon portions of the batter over the blueberry filling in the baking dish, leaving small gaps to allow the fruity filling to bubble through.
  7. Bake: Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and you see bubbling blueberry filling around the edges.
  8. Cool Slightly: Let the cobbler rest for about 10 minutes to thicken the filling before serving.
  9. Serve: Scoop warm cobbler into bowls and top with vanilla ice cream for an extra special finish.

Notes

  • You can use fresh or frozen blueberries without thawing.
  • For extra flavor, add raspberries or blackberries, or sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg into the topping batter.
  • Sprinkling coarse sugar on the topping before baking creates a crispier crust.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat in the oven at 150°C (300°F) or microwave individual servings for about 30 seconds.
