Luscious frozen blueberries beneath golden moist biscuit topping. Warm comfort dessert ready in under an hour.
# What You'll Need:
→ Berry Filling
01 - 5 cups frozen blueberries, do not thaw
02 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 2 tablespoons cornstarch
04 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
05 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
06 - Pinch of salt
→ Cobbler Topping
07 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
08 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
09 - 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
10 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
11 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
12 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
13 - 2/3 cup whole milk
14 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
02 - In a large bowl, combine frozen blueberries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Toss until berries are evenly coated. Spread mixture in prepared baking dish.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
04 - Pour melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract into dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined - batter will remain thick and slightly lumpy. Avoid overmixing.
05 - Drop rounded spoonfuls of batter over blueberry filling, covering surface while leaving small gaps for steam to escape and berries to bubble through.
06 - Bake for 40-45 minutes until topping turns golden brown and feels set when touched, and fruit filling bubbles actively around edges.
07 - Let cobbler rest for 15 minutes to allow filling to thicken. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
