Ingredients

Cobbler

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 freshly squeezed lemon juice only
  • 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar divided
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup unsalted butter

Blueberry Syrup

  • 1 cup blueberries
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 freshly squeezed lemon juice only

Instructions

Cobbler

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, lemon juice (squeezed from the lemons), and ¼ cup of sugar. Toss gently until the blueberries are evenly sugared. Set aside.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Use a fork to stir until the ingredients are evenly combined.
  • Add the vanilla extract and buttermilk to the flour mixture, use a spatula to stir the mixture until a thin batter forms.
  • Place the butter in the cast iron pan, bake the butter in the pan at 350 degrees until the butter has melted (about 3-5 minutes).
  • Once the butter has melted, take the pan out of the oven and pour the batter over the butter, do not stir the butter in.
  • Pour the blueberries over the batter in the pan, do not stir the blueberries in.
  • Bake the cobbler at 350 degrees for 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving, then top with vanilla ice cream and the blueberry syrup.

Blueberry Syrup

  • While the cobbler is cooking, add 1 cup of blueberries, the juice from 1 lemon, and 1/3 cup granulated sugar to a small saucepan. Cook on medium/low heat, stirring occasionally, until a thick syrup forms.

Notes

The cobbler batter will be a thin, bubbly mixture resembling pancake batter.
