Recipe Ingredients:

Blueberries:

• 8 cups fresh blueberries
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons cold salted butter, cut into pieces

Dough:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 heaping tablespoons sugar, plus more for sprinkling
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 sticks cold salted butter, cut into pieces
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• Vanilla ice cream, for serving

How To Make Blueberry Cobbler Recipe?

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 220°C (425°F).
2. Prepare the blueberries: In a large bowl, mix the blueberries with sugar, lemon juice, and flour. Stir to coat evenly.
3. Make the dough: In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add cold butter and use a pastry cutter to blend until crumbly.
4. Add the wet ingredients: Whisk milk and egg in a small bowl, then pour into the flour-butter mix. Stir just until combined; the dough should be lumpy and sticky.
5. Assemble the cobbler: Pour the blueberry mixture into a 23×33 cm (9×13 inch) baking dish. Dot with pieces of butter. Tear the dough into small chunks and scatter over the berries. Sprinkle the top with a bit more sugar.
6. Bake the cobbler: Cover loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
7. Serve and enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Recipe Tips:

• Use cold butter only : This keeps the dough light and fluffy as it bakes.
• Don’t overmix the dough : A rough, clumpy dough gives the cobbler its classic rustic texture.
• Fresh blueberries work best : Frozen berries can be used, but they may release more juice.
• Dot the dough, don’t spread it : Leaving gaps lets the fruity filling bubble up beautifully.
• Let it cool slightly before serving :  This helps the filling thicken and makes serving easier.

How To Store Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the cobbler cool to room temperature first. Then cover the dish with foil or transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• Freeze: Once cooled, wrap the cobbler tightly or store in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
