BLUEBERRY COBBLER

BLUEBERRY COBBLER

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 6 cups blueberries
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a 9-by-9-inch baking dish in the oven.
In a large bowl, stir together the cranberries, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Pour this into the bottom of the baking dish and over the butter.
Whisk together flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, salt and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon.Using a pastry cutter, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Add buttermilk until mixture is moist. Spoon the batter onto the cranberries. Sprinkle with a tablespoon of sugar.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.

Notes

1. Use fresh or frozen blueberries, raspberries or blackberries.
2. If you like nutmeg, add a few pinches for more flavor. Or try lemon zest for a spicy touch.
3. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture. I always start by cutting the cold butter into small cubes.Always preheat the oven and load the cobbler onto the middle rack in the middle of the oven.
4. Mix the dough until it is moist, as overmixing can make it tough.
5. Blueberries discolor easily, so be sure to clean up spills and messes quickly.
6. Save money and make your own buttermilk. Simply add 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice or white vinegar to 1/2 cup milk.Let it rest for 5 minutes before mixing it with the flour and butter mixture.
7. Once cooled, cover and store on the counter for up to 24 hours. After this time, store in the refrigerator for up to three days.
8. To freeze cakes and chips, first let them cool completely and then cover them with 2 layers of plastic wrap and then 1 layer of aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 2 months.Bake frozen at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. If the top browns too quickly, cover with aluminum foil.
