Berry mixture

  • 4 1/2-5 cups blueberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • pinch cinnamon
  • pinch nutmeg

Dough

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tbsps sugar
  • 6 tbsps cold butter, cut into pieces
  • 3/4 cups buttermilk (might not use it all)

  • Place berries in a bowl and mix with sugar, flour, and spices
  • Dough
  • Mix flour,salt, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl.
  • Cut in the butter until the mixture looks like coarse meal.
  • Add the buttermilk a little at a time, just until the dry ingredients are moistened

Assemble

  • Butter a 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
  • Add berry mixture to the dish.
  • Flour your hands!
  • Make 6 rough patties about 3’ in diameter from the dough and place on top of the berries.
  • Bake until the top is brown, and the cobbler is bubbling, about 35-40 minutes.

Notes

  1. You can use any berries you like, and readers say that frozen berries work just fine. 
  2. Putting a cookie sheet on the shelf under the cobbler will help to catch gooey drips of blueberries.
  3. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  4. Instead of cinnamon and nutmeg, try adding the juice from half a lemon to the berry mixture.
