Blueberry Cobbler

Blue Berry Cobbler!


Yummy! Nothing is better than fruit in season, getting them at a great deal! and then making blueberry cobbler! This recipe I found online and modified it a little so it didn't have as much white sugar.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup orange juice (or a couple of dashes of lemon juice)
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup white sugar ( I put agave nectar with only a sprinkle of sugar and made it 3/4 cups of flour. It tasted great, but you can stick to the original recipes.)
  • 1 egg

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. In an 8 inch square baking dish, mix blueberries, 3 tablespoons sugar, and orange juice. Set aside. In a small bowl, thoroughly mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, cream butter and 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Gradually add flour mixture, stirring just until ingredients are combined. Drop batter by rounded tablespoons over blueberry mixture. Try to cover as much of filling as possible.
  4. Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbling.(Or until you forget about and race to see if it burned only to find God had mercy and didn't let it burn.)

Three cups of blueberry can get expensive, but only if you buy it by the pint. If you can hand pick them it can be a lot cheaper. I went blueberry picking the other day at a place called Liberty Blueberry Farms where you can ...well pick your own blueberries. It cost about 2.35 per pound. I got almost 5 pounds for about 7 dollars, which can make about...I think about 3-5 of these cobblers. (a whole lot of blueberries!)
