Blueberry Cobbler Recipe

Pinklady
Cobbler originated in the United States, dating back to the early British settlers who brought over recipes for pies. However, due to limited access to traditional pie-making ingredients and equipment, they developed cobblers as a makeshift alternative.

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula or spoon
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (to thicken the filling)
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon sugar to sprinkle on top

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease your 9x13-inch baking dish with a bit of butter or non-stick spray.
  • Prepare the Blueberry Filling
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, 1 cup of sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cornstarch.
  • Stir gently until the blueberries are well coated. The cornstarch helps thicken the blueberry filling as it bakes. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  • Make the Biscuit Batter
    In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 tablespoon of sugar.
  • Gradually stir in the milk and melted butter until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be slightly thick but still easy to pour.
  • Add the Batter on Top
    Spoon the batter over the blueberry filling, trying to cover as much of the blueberries as possible.
  • Don’t worry if the batter doesn’t cover the entire surface; the batter will spread and rise as it bakes.
  • Bake the Cobbler
    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbly around the edges.
  • If you like a crispier topping, you can sprinkle a little extra sugar over the top before baking.
  • Cool and Serve
    Once the cobbler is done baking, let it cool for about 10 minutes. This will allow the filling to set a bit before serving.
  • Serve warm, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
