I realize that nobody's posted anything on here in about a year, and that the last bajillion posts were by Mindy, so I figured it's about time that I post something. Earlier this week Mindy and I went blueberry picking at a local farm a couple of miles from our homes. I ended up with almost 6 cups of blueberries so I came home and found
this recipe online. There were some other ones, but they usually involved orange juice, which I didn't have at the time. I had never made a cobbler before and I think it came out so darn good I had to make it again... two days later.
Blueberry Cobbler
Filling:
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3/4 cup water
- 3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (fresh is best, right?)
- 1 teaspoon melted butter (I used a tablespoon because I read it wrong and it was delicious, so whatever you want to do here)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Topping:
- 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
combine sugar, cornstarch, and water in a saucepan, heat to boiling, stirring constantly, then boil for a minute or two (it turns clear and goopy when it's ready). Add the blueberries and pour into a lightly greased 1 1/2 quart pan/pyrex/pie plate/whatever. Sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle with melted butter. For the topping, combine the dry ingredients, then add the melted butter to the milk and add that to the dry ingredients. Mix it until it comes together in a ball, then drop by spoonfuls onto the blueberry mixture. Bake at 425 for 25-30 minutes until topping is golden brown and goop is bubbling. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
You know it's good because Lydia kept asking for more... she didn't even have to finish a bite before she'd ask for another.
