Who doesn’t love blueberry cobbler? This dessert is so fabulous (and full of antioxidants, right?!) – you can make it in one bowl (win win) and it makes the house smell fabulous! Another bonus is that you can use fresh or frozen fruit (I used all blueberries) – they were frozen, and with a few tips it can turn out beautifully. With tropical storm Idalia on its way – I had some nervous energy to burn off, so I thought I would perfect what I thought was a pretty perfect recipe. This is better! Quick too!

Blueberry (or any fruit) Cobbler Updated Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 – 5 cups blueberries (I used a little more)
• 1  cups sugar (for the cobbler topping)
• 1 – 2 tablespoons sugar (to add to the blueberries to sweeten)
• 1 cup self rising flour (or 1 cup regular flour + 1 1/2 tsp baking powder + 1/4 tsp salt)
• 1 egg, beaten
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted

DIRECTIONS

Place the blueberries in a buttered casserole dish. Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of sugar (less or more to taste, original recipe called for more) over the blueberries. Mix the flour, egg and remaining 1 cup of sugar in a bowl. Mix with a whisk until crumbly. Spread this mixture with your hands over the blueberries. Melt the butter and pour it over the crumb mixture – I used 4 tablespoons of butter and it worked beautifully. Bake in a 350℉ oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. (Mine took 32 minutes, my berries were chilly). When you start salivating from the blueberry aroma, it’s ready to come out of the oven!

*Note:

You can use frozen blueberries, but they’re best if thawed. I sprinkled a small amount of flour over the berries (about 1 teaspoon) before I added the crumb topping – that worked beautifully. If the blueberries are cold when you put it in the oven, it may have to bake a few minutes longer, just keep checking it. I popped my blueberries in the microwave a few times, they were still chilly, but not frozen.

Each time I try this recipe I use a little less sugar – and each time it works fabulously.
