Blueberry cobbler is the perfect dessert to finish off a picnic or any meal enjoyed al fresco during the summer. You can make it in a baking dish, or as individuals in ramekins. Either way, paired with white peach ice cream, it's a huge hit!

Ingredients

Blueberry Cobbler Filling

  • 5 cups 5 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • 4-5 tbsp sugar depending on your taste
  • 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch Dorie's recipe only calls for 1 tbsp, but the blueberries are so juicy I added more
  • zest of 1/2 a lemon
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Blueberry Cobbler Topping

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 3 tbsp packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp fresh tarragon chopped thyme would also work
  • 6 tbsp (3/4 stick) cold unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup whole milk

White Peach Ice Cream

  • 3 large white or yellow peaches white peaches have a more subtle and perfumed flavor
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • pinch salt
  • 5 large egg yolks

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.

Blueberry Cobbler Filling

  • Mix together the sugar, cornstarch, zest and black pepper. Toss with the blueberries and put them in a baking dish or individual ramekins.

Blueberry Cobbler Topping

  • Grate the butter and put in the freezer to set hard, while you prepare other ingredients.

  • In a large bowl mix together the flours, brown sugar, baking powder and tarragon. Add the frozen butter and rub between your fingers until it looks like a course meal.
    Mixing flour and brown sugar
  • Add the milk and stir it with a spoon just until combined. If you over do it they will be tough when baked.

  • Scoop up the biscuit batter and create 2″ loose balls and place on top of the fruit. Again, don’t overwork. It is okay if they are a little funky looking. If you are making individual cobblers make a biscuit that is just smaller than the ramekin. They don’t need to cover all the fruit, but depending on the size of your baking dish they may.

  • Bake for about 30 minutes for the individual ramekins. They should be golden brown and the berries should bubble around the biscuits. The large baking dish will take about 60-75 minutes.
