A comforting blueberry cobbler featuring fresh blueberries and a golden buttermilk biscuit topping, perfect for cozy evenings and simple gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh blueberries (about 600 grams)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (190 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (25 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed (85 grams)
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (180 ml)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and position the rack in the center.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 4 cups fresh blueberries, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir gently until the berries are coated evenly. Set aside to macerate for about 10 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it in using a pastry cutter or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
  5. Pour in 3/4 cup cold buttermilk and stir just until the dough comes together. If the dough feels too wet, sprinkle in a bit more flour, a tablespoon at a time.
  6. Pour the blueberry mixture into your baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  7. Dollop the biscuit dough in generous spoonfuls over the berries, leaving gaps for the fruit to peek through.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the biscuit topping is golden and cooked through, and the blueberry filling is bubbly and thick. Tent loosely with foil if biscuits brown too quickly.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold to create flaky biscuits. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid tough biscuits. Macerate blueberries with sugar and lemon juice before baking to enhance flavor. If biscuits brown too fast, tent with foil. Use glass or ceramic baking dish for even heat and to monitor bubbling. Frozen blueberries can be used if thawed and drained. Buttermilk can be substituted with milk plus lemon juice or vinegar.
