Blueberry cobbler with a scooped part on the front side.

I love the pastry and fruit combinations of fruit pies. They are a complete, delicious package of theĀ sweet and bright flavor of fruit and the buttery, rich dough.

However, I don’t always have the enthusiasm to roll out dough to make a homemade pie. That is whenĀ cobblers come to the scene.

The cobbler dough is more like a biscuit-tender type of dough but it is made with the same basic ingredients of a pie dough: flour, butter, and milk/cream. The process is the same too. You cut the butter (fat) into the dry ingredientsĀ (the flour mixture) until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.

What makes cobbler a breeze compared to making pies is that you will just scoop the dough over your fruit. No rolling, no shaping, no-blind-baking.

And you get a sweet, juicy fruit filling hiding underneath a golden, tender-crisp pastry.

That is why when I craved for a pastry-fruit combo last week, I made this Blueberry cobbler. I am in love with the fact that blueberries are so bountiful in the summer.

I happily put two trays in my shopping cart, the heavenly blueberry cobbler in my mind.

How to Make Blueberry Cobbler?

Prepare the Blueberries

  • Put the fresh, washed blueberries in a large bowl. Sprinkle the sugar and the lemon over them and stir to combine everything.
  • Add the flour to the bowl and toss with the blueberries so that all of them are coated with the flour.

Make the Dough

  • Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
  • Add the pieces of butter and using your hands or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks like a coarse meal.
  • Pour the cream into the bowl and stir the mixture using a fork. Moisten the dry ingredients until a soft, slightly wet dough is formed.

If the dough is too stiff and dry, add up to 1/4 more cup of heavy cream.

Assemble and Bake the Blueberry Cobbler

  • Arrange the blueberries evenly in a 9×13 glass baking dish, a 10-inch pie plate or any large baking dish that has enough capacity to fit the berries. Arrange the bits of cold butter on top of the berries.
  • Scoop the dough over the top, covering most of the blueberries but not necessarily all.

  • Set the baking dish on a large baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper to catch any drippings from the blueberries.
  • Bake the blueberry cobbler in a 425 oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the dough is golden and the fruit filling is bubbly.

I enjoyed serving this to myself warm, then topped with vanilla ice cream. Hmm. If you are wondering what a lovely, weekday summer afternoon is made of? It is this. The sweet life.
