This is about as simple as a dessert gets — five ingredients and one bowl — and it delivers a genuinely good golden, bubbly cobbler every time. Blueberries give the filling a consistent, juicy bite without the seedy unevenness you can get from other berries.
Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter
- 1 cup sugar, plus 1/3 cup for topping
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups blueberries
Directions
- Rinse and thoroughly dry the blueberries.
- Grease a pie dish with butter.
- Get the oven heating to 350°F, and melt the butter in a microwave-safe dish.
- Pour 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of self-rising flour into a mixing bowl.
- Whisk in the milk, followed by the melted butter, until you've got a smooth batter.
- Pour the batter into your baking dish.
- Scatter the blueberries evenly across the top of the batter. If they don't start slowly sinking into the batter on their own, press them down a bit with a utensil or your finger so they end up mostly enveloped in the batter.
- Finish with the last 1/3 cup of sugar sprinkled over everything.
- Bake for roughly an hour, until it turns golden and bubbling.
My Notes
I rinse and dry my fruit before I even begin the rest of the recipe, making sure it's completely dry before I start. If the fruit is at all damp when it goes in, it'll mess with the batter consistency. It's for this reason I recommend fresh, not frozen, fruit.
