Simple Blueberry Cobbler

Try this easy-to-make blueberry cobbler! It cooks up in about 30-40 minutes, and you can eat it right away.

Blueberries

Use fresh (or frozen) blueberries for this recipe. Wash and drain the berries and then place them in a baking dish coated with cooking spray. Add sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla.

Topping

Most of the ingredients for this cobbler are in the topping. First, add sugar to room temperature butter and beat until creamy. Beat in an egg and vanilla into the butter mixture. Then add in all the dry ingredients –flour, baking powder, and salt.

The dough will be sticky, so spoon it over the blueberries, as shown below. It doesn’t have to be perfect.

Baking

This cobbler cooks for about 30 minutes or until lightly browned. The spooned-over topping will be more cakelike and soft than stiff like pie pastry.

Serve it warm, and if desired, place a scoop of vanilla ice cream on each serving. Enjoy!

Instructions

Blueberries

1. In an 8 x 8-inch baking dish (or equivalent) sprayed with cooking spray, stir together the blueberries, sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice. Set aside.

Topping

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until creamy.
4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, just until blended.
5. Add the flour mixture a little at a time until you add all the flour. Beat until just combined.
6. Spoon the topping dough over the blueberries.
7. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until lightly browned. Check the middle of the cobbler for any uncooked crust by sticking a spoon into it. If there is any uncooked crust, place a sheet of aluminum foil over the pie and place it back into the oven for 5 or 10 minutes or until the middle is cooked. The aluminum foil will help prevent the crust from over-browning.

Recipe Notes

If the cobbler starts to over-brown before the initial cooking time is finished, place a sheet of aluminum foil over it while it finishes baking.

This recipe yields 4-6 servings.
