Blueberry Cobbler Recipe
Description
The Blueberry Cobbler recipe features a filling of blueberries mixed with granulated sugar and lemon zest, providing a bright and sweet base. The batter is composed of all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and whole milk, poured over melted butter in the baking dish without stirring once combined. During baking, the butter melts into the batter, creating a crisp golden crust while the interior remains tender. The blueberries create bubbling juices adding moisture and flavor.
The baking process takes about 40 to 45 minutes at 350°F, until the crust is golden and a wooden pick inserted in the batter comes out mostly clean. This results in the characteristic cobbler texture—crisp and buttery topping with rich fruit filling. Serving it slightly cooled prevents it from falling apart when scooped.
This cobbler is often enjoyed warm paired with vanilla ice cream, which adds creaminess that complements the sweet and tart blueberries. Variations include adjusting sugar for berry sweetness or adding lemon juice for a more pronounced citrus note.
Butter may float to the top during baking and sometimes appears wet until near the end of cooking, which is normal. Using a larger pan will produce a thinner, quicker-baking cobbler.
Ingredients
For the Blueberries:
- 3 cups blueberries 450g, fresh or frozen
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)
- 1 lemon zested (2 teaspoons zest)
For the Batter:
- 5 tablespoons butter 70g, unsalted
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour (150g)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (100g)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk 240mL, whole
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
For the Blueberries:
- In a large bowl, stir together blueberries, sugar, and lemon zest until combined. Set aside.
For the Batter:
- Place the butter in a 8x8-inch baking dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven until the butter is melted, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk in the milk until just combined.
- Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven, and pour the batter into the pan (do not stir). Top evenly with the blueberry mixture. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the batter is golden brown and a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Notes
- Butter may rise during baking and seem wet; it will absorb as baking finishes, so patience is key.
- Adjust sugar in blueberries based on their natural sweetness to balance flavor.
- For more lemon flavor, add about half a tablespoon of lemon juice to berry mixture in addition to zest.
- Using a 9x13-inch pan shortens baking time to 30-35 minutes due to thinner batter.
