If you're looking for a simple yet satisfying treat, a blueberry cobbler fits the bill perfectly. This classic dish combines fresh blueberries with a rich, buttery topping, resulting in an easy-to-make dessert that everyone will enjoy.

Ingredients You'll Need

Getting started is easy with the following ingredients:

You probably have most of these items in your pantry already. With blueberries in season, now is the perfect time to whip up this dessert.

Preparing the Cobbler

Begin by mixing your ingredients. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of milk, 1 stick of melted butter, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until smooth. You are aiming for a creamy consistency that sets the stage for the berries.

Delicious batter for blueberry cobbler

Layering the Blueberries

Spread your 1 pint of blueberries (or about 2 cups) evenly into the bottom of a baking dish. This step is crucial as it allows the berries to soften and release their juices while cooking. If fresh blueberries aren't available, you can also use frozen ones. Just keep in mind that baking time may slightly increase.

Pour your batter over the blueberries, ensuring they are well covered. This simple layering technique results in a delightful contrast: a juicy, sweet filling paired with a fluffy topping.

Baking the Cobbler

Now it's time to bake! Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cobbler for 35-40 minutes. As it bakes, the top should turn golden brown, indicating it's ready. Keep an eye on it—when you see the edges bubbling, it's a sign of the flavorful jam-like filling beneath.

Serving Suggestions

Once your cobbler is baked and bubbly, serve it warm. You can enjoy it solo or add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast between hot and cold. This combination enhances the dessert's depth of flavor.

For a touch of elegance, dust the top with powdered sugar. If you want to take it up a notch, adding fresh mint leaves not only looks appealing but also adds a burst of fresh flavor.

Can I make this with other fruit?

Absolutely!! This blueberry recipe is particularly amazing because it highlights the flavors of fresh summer fruit while allowing room for creativity. You might try substituting blueberries with other fruits like strawberries, raspberries, or peaches. I've even tried this with mixed berries and it is always delicious!

This dish is versatile and adaptable. Feel free to adjust the recipe based on the fruit in season, ensuring you’re always making something delightful.
