Pie Blueberry Cobbler
Ingredients
- 5 cups of fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 2 cups granulated sugar, divided into 3/4 cup and 1 1/4 cup
- 1 cup whole milk
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups boiling water
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13’’ baking dish with cooking spray. Spread the blueberries in the bottom of the dish and sprinkle the fresh lemon juice over the top.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, nutmeg, 3/4 cup sugar, milk, butter and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer and mix on low speed until just combined. There may be a few small lumps in the batter and that is just fine.
- Add 1 ½ cups of water to a kettle or small pot and bring to a boil over high heat. While the water boils, combine the remaining 1 1/4 cups sugar and the cornstarch in a small bowl. Use a spoon to sprinkle this evenly over top of the cobbler batter. Place the cobbler dish on top of a rimmed baking sheet.
- Once the water comes to a boil, pour it evenly over the cobbler. Use the back of a wooden spoon to poke several holes through the cobbler surface.
- Carefully place the cobbler into the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes until a golden, shiny crust forms on top and the fruit bubbles through the top. Cool for 30 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.
