Ingredients

Scale

Blueberry Filling

  • 4 cups fresh blueberries (frozen can also be used)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Cobbler Topping

  • 6 Tablespoons butter (softened; can use salted or unsalted)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (plus extra for sprinkling on top)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup boiling water

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and spray an 8×8-inch baking pan with baking spray to ensure easy removal of your cobbler.
  2. Prepare Blueberry Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the blueberries, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 ½ tablespoons flour, and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon. Toss gently to coat the blueberries evenly with the mixture.
  3. Make Cobbler Topping: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar together until creamy, about 2 minutes, using a hand or stand mixer.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add 1 cup flour, baking powder, and salt to the mixture, stirring until just combined. Then pour in ⅓ cup boiling water and mix until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.
  6. Assemble Cobbler: Spoon the thick batter over the blueberry filling in the baking pan, smoothing it out and allowing some blueberries to show through the topping.
  7. Add Final Touch: Sprinkle extra granulated sugar evenly over the batter to add a sweet, crunchy crust once baked.
  8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbling hot.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Frozen blueberries can be used if fresh are not available, but reduce sugar slightly if blueberries are very sweet.
  • For an extra crispy topping, you can sprinkle coarse sugar instead of granulated sugar before baking.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delicious dessert experience.
  • Ensure the boiling water is added last to avoid overmixing and to create a light batter texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
