Ingredients
Scale
Blueberry Filling
- 4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Batter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (divided as 1/4 cup for blueberries and 1/2 cup for batter)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Topping
- Coarse sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×9-inch or similar-sized oven-safe baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix Blueberry Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the blueberries with lemon juice and 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar. Toss gently to coat evenly, then spread the blueberry mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until you form a smooth batter without lumps.
- Assemble Cobbler: Pour the batter evenly over the blueberries in the dish, gently spreading to cover but do not stir the layers together. If desired, sprinkle coarse sugar on top for a crunchy finish.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool for about 10 minutes before serving. It is excellent warm, especially paired with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- You can substitute other berries such as raspberries, blackberries, or a mix of berries for variety.
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before mixing to help maintain structure and prevent sogginess.
- Coarse sugar topping adds a nice crunch but is optional.
