How to Make Blueberry Cobbler
Preheat oven to 425F.
In a bowl, combine the blueberries, with the sugars, lemon juice, and corn starch.
Stir ingredients well and then pour into a suitable baking dish. Put this to one side.
Now prepare the butter biscuit that will cover blueberry cobbler.
Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
Remove the butter from the refrigerator and using a grater, grate the butter with the dry ingredient mix. Stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add heavy cream and milk and use a spatula, stir until ingredients are combined (Be careful that you don’t overwork the mixture).
Use hands to make patties and place on the blueberry filling. The topping does not have to completely cover the blueberries, but it’s worth making an even layer so that the Blueberry Cobbler cook evenly.
Using a pastry brush, glaze the top with the additional double cream and sprinkle lots of coarse sugar or if you don’t have this, use granulated sugar.
Place into the preheated oven and bake at 425F (220C) for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown. At this point, cover the Blueberry Cobbler with foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and cool for 10 to 15 minutes before portioning.
