I may not be baking as much lately, but that doesn't mean I don't get to enjoy delicious treats that friends make. Two weeks ago when the canasta group met at Friend Ellen's house, she served this Fresh Blueberry Cobbler. I think it is the best one I have ever eaten.
Ellen used a package of fresh blueberries (18 ounce) but you could use frozen blueberries (enough to cover the bottom of the pan - up to 4 cups).
FRESH BLUEBERRY COBBLER
18 oz package of fresh blueberries
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest
6 tablespoons butter
* * * * *
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
ground cinnamon
Slice the butter into pieces and add to a 9 x 13 - inch baking dish. Place the pan in the while it preheats to 350 degrees, to allows the butter melt. Once the butter melts, remove the pan from the oven. Set aside.
Add the blueberries, sugar, and zest to a bowl and stir to cost.
In a separate bowl, mix the ingredients for the batter : flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk, just until combined.
Pour the blueberries over the melted butter in the pan.
Drizzle the batter over the top. Sprinkle with a little bit of cinnamon.
Bake for about 35 to 40 minutes or until lightly golden on top.
Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream, if desired.
