Blueberry Cobbler
Serve with vanilla ice
cream for a terrific summer dessert.
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups fresh blueberries
1/2 lemon
1 1/8 cups white sugar
4 1/2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup whole milk
TOPPING:
1 1/2 cups white sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 pinch ground cinnamon
3/4 cup boiling water
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to
350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an
11x7 inch baking dish.
2. Spread the blueberries out to cover the entire
bottom of the baking dish. Squeeze the juice from
the lemon over them. In a medium bowl, stir together
the butter and 1 1/8 cups sugar until smooth. Stir
in flour and baking powder alternately with the milk
until smooth. Batter will be thin. Spoon over the
berries, and spread evenly.
3. For topping: In a small bowl, stir together 1 1/2 cups of
sugar, salt, and cornstarch. Sprinkle over the top
of the batter. Dust with a pinch of cinnamon, then
pour the boiling water over the entire dish.
4. Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or
until golden brown.
