Blueberry Cobbler

mirtilli/blueberries


*Errors fixed. Sorry!

Having a BBQ to attend on Saturday, I did not want to go empty handed. But, I wasn’t sure what kind of dessert to bring. Thank goodness for Twitter and Courtney (AKA Glamah). She suggested cobbler, like peach. Okay. I can do that…or can I. With all the baking that I have done, cobbler has never been one I have attempted. Go figure! And, I live in the south, to boot. Blasphemy! No wonder why I am not married. Ha!!!

When I woke up Saturday morning, I really didn’t feel like going out to get peaches. Thank goodness for the blueberries in my freezer! And, so it was…..my blueberry cobbler. My question became, why the heck have I never made one? These suckers are easy and delicious!!! Who knew? Not me, obviously, or I would have been a cobbler making fool.

Blueberry Cobbler
Adapted from a Paula Deen recipe

24 oz. frozen blueberries
½ cup sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 stick (¼ cup) butter, unsalted
2 cups self-rising flour
1 ½ cups milk
¼ tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. freshly ground nutmeg
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Put the butter in a 3-quart baking dish and place in oven to melt. *remember to use pot holders post-melt!

Mix sugars, flour, spices, and milk slowly to prevent clumping. Pour mixture over melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon fruit on top, gently.
(Batter will rise to top during baking.) Bake for 30 to 45 minutes. To serve, scoop onto a plate and serve with your choice of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Looks amazing. My Grandma used to make peach cobbler and it was my favorite as a kid. Now I might like blueberry better! Not sure if you can make SBD friendly cobbler though! sigh.

You know, peach cobbler gets all the usual attention, but give me a blueberry one any day!

My mom makes a super easy peach cobbler that is so good...and no one ever knows it takes all of 2 minutes to put together.

She just takes a large can of peaches and then pours about 3/4 of a box of yellow cake mix over the top and adds a little melted butter. Bake it according to the cake mix directions. With the peach juice and butter, the cake mix makes a really delicious crust!

This is something new to me. I'm making this tonight. I think I'll try to shoot it, but I don't think it will be as pretty as your picture!

Well I questioned the 1/2 cup of water for recipe, my gutts told me not to add it, I went ahead and followed the ingredients,(actually made 1-1/2 amount for 4 qt pan), so OH MY, it is in the oven now not sure what is going to happen except I probably will end up ruining it . Anyone know how to fix??? Can anything be added to it and cook it longer? Silly Shirley from NH

These directions are very incomplete. Can you please revise, telling us when to add in the water and the spices? Thanks.
