Ingredients
Scale
Blueberry Filling
- 4 cups fresh blueberries
- 3/8 cup granulated sugar (half of 3/4 cup sugar)
Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt (a pinch)
- 3/8 cup granulated sugar (remaining half of 3/4 cup sugar)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- Prepare blueberries: In a bowl, combine the fresh blueberries with half of the sugar (about 3/8 cup). Stir gently and let them sit to macerate and release natural juices.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining half of the granulated sugar until evenly combined.
- Add wet ingredients: Stir in the milk and melted butter into the dry mixture just until combined. Some lumps are fine; avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and tender.
- Assemble the cobbler: Pour half of the batter into the greased baking dish, spread it evenly. Spoon the blueberry mixture over the batter layer. Finally, top with the remaining batter, spreading carefully to cover the blueberries.
- Bake the cobbler: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Bake until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges.
Notes
- Fresh blueberries work best for natural sweetness and texture. Frozen blueberries can be used but may produce a wetter filling.
- Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps help keep the cobbler tender.
- Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving to let the filling set.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.
- You can substitute milk with a non-dairy alternative to make it dairy-free.
