Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F (175° C).
  2. Place the sugar in a medium-sized bowl. Using your fingers, mix together lemon zest with sugar until it resembles wet sand. Reserve ¼ cup.
  3. Stir together blueberries, lemon juice, flour, and ¼ cup reserved lemon sugar in a medium size bowl, until well coated.
  4. Sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, kosher salt, cinnamon, and remaining sugar in a medium-sized bowl, until no clumps remain.
  5. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and stir in buttermilk and vanilla until batter is mostly smooth, a few tiny lumps is okay.
  6. Add the butter to an 8x8 baking dish or any 2-3 quart baking dish (recipe may be doubled for 9x13). Place in the preheated oven until the butter is melted, 1-2 minutes. Remove from oven.
  7. Pour batter over the melted butter without stirring. Sprinkle blueberries evenly over the batter. If you prefer more cobbler on top, add blueberries to melted butter, then pour the batter over the berries. If desired, sprinkle 1 tablespoon coarse sugar over teh top.
  8. Bake the cobbler for 40 to 45 minutes, until bubbly, puffed, and golden brown. Place on a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes.Slice and serve warm, with milk or vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!

Notes

  • *To make your own buttermilk: add ½ tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a 1-cup liquid measuring cup. Then add 1/2 cup milk (cow's milk or plant-based), stir, and allow to sit for 7-10 minutes.
  • Double the recipe for 9x13 - Use the slider on the recipe card to double this recipe for a 9x13 inch pan. 
  • Gluten-Free Blueberry Cobbler Swap out the all-purpose flour, with your favorite gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (my favorite) and proceed with the recipe! 
  • all-purpose flour
  • Vegan (Dairy-Free) Blueberry Cobbler Replace the butter with your favorite plant-based butter or melted coconut oil and the buttermilk with a plant-based variety (you may also make your own*) and you are ready to roll!
  • Blueberry Peach Cobbler Replace ½ to ¼ of the blueberries with diced fresh or frozen peaches (avoid canned peaches here; they will get too mushy).
  • High Altitude Adjustments
  • Increase flour by 2 tablespoons
  • Decrease baking powder to 1 ¼ teaspoons
  • Bake as directed
