Blueberry Cobbler - Hands up all those who remember the easy, homemade, good old fashioned desserts that your grandma used to make for a crowd gathering when you were a child. A light, flaky biscuit topping, hiding those plump and succulent blueberries is bound to make those memories come flooding back.
Ingredients
6 cups blueberries (870g)
¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)
¼ cup light brown sugar (50g)
½ Tablespoons lemon juice
2 Tablespoons corn-starch
Cobbler Topping
2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)
¼ cup sugar (50g)
1 Tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, very cold (85g)
½ cup heavy cream (120ml)
⅓ cup cold milk (80ml)
Other ingredients for Decoration
Additional heavy cream for brushing
Coarse sugar for sprinkling or regular granulated will work just fine.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425F. In a large bowl, combine blueberries, ¼ cup sugar ¼ cup brown sugar, lemon juice, and corn starch.
Stir ingredients well and then pour into a 7x11 baking dish. Set aside and prepare your blueberry cobbler topping.
In a separate large bowl, combine your flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and mix well.
Remove your butter from the refrigerator and either cut it into your flour mixture using a pastry cutter or (preferred) use a box grater to shred the butter into small pieces and then add to the flour mixture, combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add heavy cream and milk and use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir until ingredients are combined (don't over-mix).
Use your hands to evenly drop biscuit mixture over the blueberry filling. The biscuit does not have to totally cover the blueberries.
Brush with additional heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar (if you don't have coarse sugar, regular granulated will also work just fine).
Bake on 425F (220C) for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Cover cobbler with foil and bake an additional 10-15.
Allow cooling for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Chill butter in the fridge for 10-20 minutes. It's easier to grate butter if cold. Fresh or frozen fruit can be used.
