Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (960 ml / 32 fl oz) blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (113 g / 4 oz) unsalted butter, melted
- ¾ cup (180 ml / 6 fl oz) whole milk
- 2 tbsps cornstarch
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 375°F and generously brush a rectangular baking dish with melted butter to create a non-stick surface.
- Fruit Layer: Distribute blueberries evenly across the buttered dish, creating a vibrant and lush foundation for the cobbler.
- Dry Mixture: Whisk flour, sugar, and baking powder in a mixing bowl until completely smooth and homogeneous.
- Batter Creation: Incorporate milk and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients, stirring until a luxurious, velvety batter forms with no clumps.
- Assembly: Gently pour the batter over the blueberries, allowing it to naturally spread without disrupting the fruit’s pristine arrangement.
- Baking: Slide the dish into the central oven rack and bake for 45-50 minutes, watching for a rich golden-brown crust and bubbling fruit edges.
- Resting and Serving: Allow the cobbler to cool for 15-20 minutes, letting flavors meld and intensify. Finish with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a light sprinkle of powdered sugar for a decadent Texas-style dessert experience.
Notes
- Select Ripe Blueberries: Choose plump, deep-blue berries without soft spots or wrinkles to ensure maximum flavor and sweetness in your cobbler.
- Prevent Soggy Bottom: Lightly dust blueberries with a thin layer of flour before adding batter to prevent fruit from sinking and creating a mushy texture.
- Customize Sweetness: Adjust sugar levels based on blueberry ripeness; taste berries first and reduce added sugar if they’re naturally sweet to maintain balanced flavor.
- Perfect Baking Technique: Position cobbler in the oven’s center rack for even heat distribution, creating a golden-brown crust with a perfectly cooked fruit base.
