How To Make Southern Style Blueberry Cobbler
To make this easy blueberry cobbler recipe, start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees and placing a stick of butter into the bottom of a 7×11 baking dish. Then place it in the oven until fully melted.
While the butter is melting, add the blueberries to a large bowl along with ½ cup to 1 cup of white sugar. Toss until the blueberries are coated in sugar.
To make the crust add the self-rising flour, ½ cup white sugar, brown sugar, milk, vanilla extract to a medium bowl and whisk it together until no lumps are present within the flour mixture.
Once the butter is melted, remove the casserole dish from the oven and then pour the flour mixture on top of the melted butter. Then pour the blueberries on top and do not stir. Sprinkle a little bit of ground cinnamon on top and place in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 45- 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Allow the cobbler to cool slightly and serve it while it is warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.
FAQ
Can I use all-purpose flour as a substitute for self-rising flour?
- Yes, if you do not use self-rising flour the dough will not rise during the baking process. HOWEVER, you can turn all-purpose flour into self-rising flour. To do so you will need to add 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of table salt and whisk it together. This measurement should be used for every 1 cup of all-purpose flour.
How should I store leftover cobbler?
- Leftover cobbler should be stored in an airtight container and placed in the refrigerator. If you don’t have an airtight container, you can wrap the baking pan with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. All leftovers should be eaten in 2-3 days.
Can I use fruit filling in place of fresh fruit?
- Yes. I highly recommend using fresh ingredients for best results but if you choose to use blueberry filling use a 21 ounce can as a substitute.
How is this cobbler best served?
- It is best served while it is warm and with a big scoop of ice cream.
