recipe

preparation time: 10 mins cook time: 40 mins ready time: 50 mins


• preheat oven to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c).
• combine blueberries, 1/2 cup sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan with enough water to just cover; bring to a boil. cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat until the berries pop and the sugar is dissolved completely, 3 to 5 minutes. stir cornstarch into 1/4 cup cold water; stir into blueberry mixture. continue cooking blueberries until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes more. (mixture will thicken as it cools.)
• whisk milk, flour, 1 cup sugar, egg, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth.
• swirl melted butter in the bottom of an 8-inch square deep baking dish to coat. pour batter over the butter. sprinkle cinnamon over the batter; top with the berries mixture.
• bake in preheated oven until the batter is no longer wet, about 30 minutes. sprinkle coarse sugar over the cobbler. cool 15 minutes before serving.
