Ingredients

Filling:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar (230g)
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar (40g, packed)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (55g)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 ounces vanilla simple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 pints blueberries (800g, about 4 to 5 cups)

Topping:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (230g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ cup salted butter (171g, cold and sliced)
  • ½ cup buttermilk (cold)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Detailed Step-by-Step Directions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your cobbler bakes evenly and comes out perfectly golden.
  2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with 4 tablespoons of salted butter. This will help prevent sticking and add extra flavor.
  3. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and lemon zest. Add the flour, cinnamon, and salt, mixing well to combine. Stir in the vanilla syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until the mixture thickens. Gently toss in the blueberries until they are well coated.
  4. Initial Baking: Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for 15 minutes. This step helps to release the juices from the blueberries, creating a delicious base.
  5. Prepare the Topping: While the blueberries are baking, prepare the topping. In a food processor, pulse together the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Add the cold, sliced butter and pulse until the mixture is crumbly. Then, mix in the buttermilk and vanilla extract until just moistened.
  6. Add the Topping: After the initial baking time, remove the dish from the oven. Drop clumps of the topping onto the hot blueberries, ensuring even coverage.
  7. Final Baking: Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 32 to 37 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm, or let it cool for a thicker texture!

How to Store Blueberry Cobbler
