Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 4 cups blueberries
Supporting Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Liquids and Fats:
- ¾ cup milk
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- Ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 350°F and slice 6 tbsp butter into small pieces. Slide the baking dish into the oven while preheating to melt the butter completely.
- Combine 4 cups blueberries, ½ cup sugar, and 1 tsp lemon zest in a medium mixing bowl. Gently stir the fruit mixture until sugar coats the berries evenly.
- Whisk 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, and ¼ tsp salt in a separate bowl. Pour ¾ cup milk into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Pull the melted butter baking dish from the oven. Spread the blueberry mixture across the liquid butter, creating an even layer.
- Carefully pour the batter over the blueberries, allowing some fruit to peek through. Dust the surface with a light sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
- Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes, watching for a golden-brown surface and bubbling edges that indicate the cobbler is fully cooked.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes. Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream if desired.
Notes
- Let the melted butter create a crispy, golden crust that adds rich flavor to the cobbler base.
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries, but if using frozen, do not thaw them first to prevent excess moisture.
- Avoid overmixing the batter, as this can make the cobbler tough instead of tender and light.
- For a gluten-free version, swap the all-purpose flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free baking blend.
