Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure the oven rack is positioned in the center for even baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine fresh blueberries, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Gently mix until the blueberries are evenly coated. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the berries to release their natural juices.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Pour in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish, ensuring it covers the bottom evenly.
- Carefully pour the prepared batter over the melted butter. Do not stir. The batter will naturally spread during baking.
- Spoon the blueberry mixture evenly over the batter, distributing the berries and their juices across the surface.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for 15-20 minutes. This resting period allows the cobbler to set and makes serving easier.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. The cobbler can be stored at room temperature, covered, for up to 2 days.
Tips
- • Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the most intense flavor. If fresh aren't available, high-quality frozen berries work well too. • Don't overmix the batter—a few small lumps are perfectly fine and will ensure a tender texture. • For an extra touch of indulgence, sprinkle a little raw sugar on top before baking to create a beautiful, crispy caramelized crust. • Let the cobbler rest after baking to allow the juices to set, making it easier to serve and preventing a runny consistency. • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate dessert experience. • Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
