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)
Batter
- 6 tablespoons butter (85 g)
- 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)
Additional
- ground cinnamon (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius) and prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish for the recipe.
- Melt Butter: Slice the butter into pieces and place it into the baking dish. Put the dish in the oven while it preheats to allow the butter to melt evenly. Once melted, carefully remove the dish from the oven.
- Prepare Blueberries: In a bowl, combine the blueberries with 1/2 cup sugar and lemon zest. Stir gently to mix all ingredients evenly without crushing the berries.
- Mix Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the milk and stir just until combined to avoid overmixing.
- Assemble Cobbler: Pour the blueberry mixture over the melted butter in the baking dish. Drizzle the batter evenly over the blueberries. Lightly sprinkle ground cinnamon on top for extra flavor.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 minutes or until the top is lightly golden and the batter is cooked through.
- Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving warm. Optionally, serve with a scoop of ice cream for a delicious treat.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries depending on availability; no need to thaw frozen berries before using.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg with the cinnamon topping.
- Use whole milk for a richer batter or substitute with your preferred milk type.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the topping tender and fluffy.
- Serve warm to enjoy the best texture, and pair with vanilla ice cream for classic contrast.
