Welcome to the delightful world of cobblers! This Lemon Blueberry Cobbler Delight brings together tart lemons and sweet blueberries in a sun-kissed dessert that’s perfect for any occasion. It’s simple yet so satisfying, making it a must-try for any home baker looking to impress without stress.
Blueberries: The star of our dish, they bring natural sweetness and a bit of juiciness that pairs perfectly with lemon.
Lemon juice and lemon zest: These add a bright, tangy kick and elevate the flavor profile of the blueberries.
Granulated sugar: Sweetens the dish and helps the blueberries release their juices.
All-purpose flour: Gives structure to our batter, creating that lovely cake-like base.
Baking powder: Essential for leavening, it helps the batter rise and become fluffy.
Salt: Enhances the overall flavor, balancing the sweetness and tartness.
Unsalted butter: Adds richness and moisture to the batter, ensuring a tender bite.
Milk: Provides the necessary liquid to bring our batter together, contributing to a tender crumb.
Vanilla extract: Adds a warm, aromatic hint that rounds out the flavors beautifully.
This cobbler is heavenly on its own, but if you want to take it up a notch, serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. The creamy coolness complements the warm, fruity cobbler perfectly. For a brunch twist, pair it with a mimosa or a glass of chilled lemonade.
First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This way, it's ready to go once you're done mixing everything up. Grab a mixing bowl and toss in your blueberries. Pour over the lemon juice and sprinkle the lemon zest along with a quarter cup of sugar. Give it a good toss so the blueberries are nicely coated, then set this aside for now.
In another bowl, it's time to focus on the dry ingredients. Mix together your flour, the rest of the sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir these together until they're well combined.
Next, pour in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients. Stir this mixture until you have a smooth batter. Be gentle but thorough, ensuring there are no lumps.
Prepare your 9x9-inch baking dish by greasing it lightly. Pour the batter into the dish, spreading it evenly. Take your blueberry mixture and distribute it over the batter. It won't be perfect, and that's okay – part of the charm is how the berries sink and dot the cobbler as it bakes.
Slide the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 45 to 50 minutes. You'll know it's done when the top has a beautiful golden hue and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, let it cool for at least 10 minutes before diving in. This resting time helps the flavors meld together and makes serving a breeze.
