Equipment

  • 9x9-inch baking dish
  • Medium mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Pastry cutter or fork
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spoon or scoop for topping

Ingredients

  • For the Filling:
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch for thickening
  • For the Topping:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup boiling water
  • Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract for added flavor

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
  • Prepare the Filling:
  • In a medium bowl, combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cornstarch. Toss until evenly coated. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • Make the Topping:
  • In a separate bowl, mix flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in boiling water (and vanilla if using) until just combined.
  • Assemble:
  • Drop spoonfuls of the topping over the blueberry filling. The topping doesn’t need to completely cover the berries.
  • Bake:
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Cool and Serve:
  • Let the cobbler cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
