Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Mixture
- 4 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen) (600 g)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 g)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (2 g)
Butter Layer
- 6 tablespoons butter (85 g)
Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 g)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200 g)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder (8 g)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (1.5 g)
- 3/4 cup milk (180 ml)
Topping
- Ground cinnamon, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the cobbler.
- Melt Butter: Slice the butter into pieces and place them in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Put the dish in the oven while it preheats to allow the butter to melt evenly. Once melted, carefully remove the pan from the oven.
- Prepare Blueberries: In a bowl, combine the blueberries, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and lemon zest. Stir gently to evenly coat the berries and release their juices.
- Mix Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir in the milk until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the batter tender.
- Assemble Cobbler: Pour the blueberry mixture over the melted butter in the baking dish. Then, drizzle the batter evenly over the blueberries. Lightly sprinkle ground cinnamon on top for added flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40 minutes or until the topping is lightly golden and cooked through.
- Serve: Let the cobbler cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
Notes
- You can use either fresh or frozen blueberries, making this recipe versatile year-round.
- Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a more indulgent serving.
- For a hint of spice, increase the cinnamon topping slightly or add a pinch of nutmeg to the batter.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep it light and fluffy.
- Use a 9x13 inch baking dish to ensure even baking and proper thickness.
