Blueberry Cobbler

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 pounds blueberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 stick cold butter cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons coarse grain sugar like Turbinado

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Butter a 2-quart baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt, and lemon zest and juice. Stir until the cornstarch has formed something of a slurry with the lemon juice. Scrape the fruit mixture into the buttered dish.
  • In the same bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine. Add the butter and use a pastry blender to work it into the dry ingredients.
  • Add the milk and stir just enough to incorporate.
  • Spoon the cobbler topping over the blueberries, doing your best to make a fairly even layer.
  • Sprinkle the coarse sugar over the top of the dough.
  • Set the baking dish on top of a rimmed baking sheet and slide it into the oven.
  • Bake at 325 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes, until the fruit looks thick and jammy.
  • Then, turn the heat up to 375 degrees F and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. This gives the cobbler top a chance to brown a little more deeply.
  • Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
