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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add Final Touch: Sprinkle extra granulated sugar evenly over the batter to add a sweet, crunchy crust once baked.
- 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.
- 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.
