Ingredients

For the blueberry layer

• 3 cups fresh blueberries
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 pinch ground cinnamon

For the batter

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/8 cups white sugar
• 4 1/2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup boiling water

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 11x7 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the Blueberries: Spread the blueberries evenly across the bottom of the baking dish. Drizzle the lemon juice over them for added brightness.

3. Make the Batter: In a medium bowl, mix together the softened butter and 1 1/8 cups of sugar until smooth. Next, alternate adding the flour and baking powder with the milk, stirring until well combined. The batter will be thin, which is just perfect for this cobbler!

   🥄 Don’t worry about lumps in the batter; a few small lumps are completely fine!

4. Assemble the Cobbler: Spoon the batter over the blueberries, spreading it evenly. In a small bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of sugar, salt, and cornstarch. Sprinkle this mixture over the batter and then dust with a pinch of cinnamon. Finally, pour the boiling water over the entire dish—this will create a delightful moisture that makes the cobbler extra appealing.

5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

   ⏳ If you prefer a crunchier topping, feel free to bake it a bit longer—just keep an eye on it!

Variations

• Berry Mix: Switch it up and use a mix of berries like raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries for a colorful and flavorful twist! 🍓🍇
• Gluten-free: Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend for a similar texture and taste.
• Spiced Up: Add a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon for an extra layer of warmth and flavor.
• Low-Sugar: Use a sugar substitute or reduce the sugar to make it healthier—just keep in mind it might alter the texture slightly.

Enjoy your delicious homemade blueberry cobbler, a beautiful blend of sweet and tart flavors that’s sure to impress! 🌟
