Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh blueberries (about 600g)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (125g)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed (85g)
  • 1/3 cup whole milk (80ml)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss together 4 cups of fresh blueberries, 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon if using. Set aside to macerate for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Use a pastry cutter or fork to blend the 6 tablespoons of cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup whole milk, 1 beaten egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Pour the milk mixture into the flour-butter mixture and gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour the blueberry filling into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. Dollop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping over the berries, covering most of the surface but leaving some blueberry peeks.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
  9. Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes on a cooling rack before serving.
