Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup granulated sugar plus 1 tablespoon
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups blueberries

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉. Place the butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and transfer it to the preheated oven to melt. 
  • Meanwhile, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Stir in the milk, 1 cup sugar, lemon juice, zest and vanilla to combine.
  • In a sparately bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and the blueberries.
  • Remove the hot skillet with the melted butter from the oven and pour in the batter. Top with the sugared blueberries. Bake until golden and the batter has risen up and around the fruit, about 30 to 35 minutes. 
  • Transfer to a rack to cool slightly. Serve with vanilla bean ice cream or lightly sweetened whipped cream.

Notes

  1. Blueberries: For the best flavor, use fresh blueberries when they’re in season. Frozen blueberries also work well and do not need to be thawed before baking.
  2. Tip: Do not overmix the batter. Stir just until combined for a tender cobbler topping.
  3. Baking: Bake until the edges are golden and the blueberries are bubbling. Oven temperatures and skillet sizes can vary, so add a few extra minutes if needed.
  4. Serving & Storage: This cobbler is best served warm from the oven, but leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
