Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure an oven-safe 10-inch cast iron skillet is available.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine blueberries, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Gently mix until blueberries are evenly coated. Set aside to macerate for 10 minutes.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in melted butter and milk. Stir until a soft, shaggy biscuit dough forms.
- Transfer the macerated blueberry mixture into the cast iron skillet, spreading evenly across the bottom.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon biscuit dough over the blueberry filling, leaving some small gaps to allow steam to escape.
- Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. The filling will be extremely hot.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips
- Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen berries, do not thaw them first.
- Allow the blueberries to macerate for the full 10 minutes to release their natural juices and enhance the filling's flavor.
- Don't overmix the biscuit dough - a shaggy, slightly lumpy texture ensures tender, flaky biscuits.
- Use a cast iron skillet for even heat distribution and a beautiful presentation.
- Let the cobbler cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set and prevent burning your mouth.
- For an extra indulgent touch, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat gently in the oven to maintain the biscuits' crisp texture.
