Ingredients
Scale
Blueberry Filling
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)
Biscuit Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/3 cup milk
Instructions
- Prepare the blueberry filling: Rinse the blueberries and combine them with sugar and lemon juice if using. Let the mixture sit to allow the juices to develop before baking.
- Make the biscuit topping: In a separate bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk just until combined to form a soft batter.
- Assemble the cobbler: Pour the blueberry mixture into a greased baking dish. Spoon the biscuit batter evenly over the blueberries, covering most but leaving some exposed.
- Bake to golden perfection: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35 to 40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the filling bubbles around the edges.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for about 15 minutes to set the juices before serving, enhancing the balance of warm filling and crumbly topping.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; thaw and drain frozen berries to avoid excess liquid.
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure a tender biscuit topping.
- Keep butter cold to create flaky texture as it melts during baking.
- Adjust sugar to taste depending on berry sweetness.
- Let the cobbler rest after baking for better slicing and juice thickening.
