Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups (960 milliliters) fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar (for filling)
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar (for batter)
- 1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- ¾ cup (180 milliliters) whole milk
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Binding and Leavening Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Thoroughly coat a rectangular baking dish with the melted butter, ensuring complete coverage across the bottom surface.
- Gently tumble fresh blueberries into the buttered dish, creating an even, uniform layer that promises a vibrant burst of fruity flavor.
- Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, whisking flour, sugar, and baking powder until perfectly integrated with no visible lumps.
- Gradually introduce milk and vanilla extract into the dry mixture, stirring with smooth, deliberate motions to craft a silky, pourable batter.
- Carefully cascade the liquid batter over the blueberries, allowing it to naturally settle without disturbing the fruit’s delicate arrangement.
- Place the prepared cobbler into the preheated oven, positioning it centrally to ensure consistent heat distribution.
- Bake until the top transforms into a golden-brown landscape with crisp edges and a slightly bubbling fruity interior, typically requiring 45-50 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler rest for 15-20 minutes, allowing the intense heat to gently stabilize and the flavors to harmonize.
- Serve warm, optionally garnishing with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a delicate dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch of indulgence.
Notes
- Choose ripe, plump blueberries for the most intense flavor and sweetest results.
- Dust the blueberries with a light coating of flour before mixing to prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
- Add a splash of lemon juice to brighten the blueberry filling and balance the sweetness.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or a gluten-free baking blend in the topping.
