    Growing up one of my friend’s mom made the best Blueberry Cobbler. I always loved walking into their house after summer school and being overtaken by the most delicious aroma of sweet and buttery blueberries baking in the oven.

    Our Blueberry Cobbler is inspired by that childhood recipe that I loved so much. It’s a simple dessert with the most delicious biscuit crust. Our secret is the addition of cornmeal in the biscuit that gives it a subtly pleasant nutty flavor. We love to serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the perfect summer treat!

    What is a Cobbler?

    A cobbler is a fruit filled, biscuit topped dessert that originated from British-American settlers. A thick biscuit batter is either scooped or pours over the fruit filling before being baked.

    How to Serve Blueberry Cobbler – Hot or Cold?

    Many people wonder if the proper way to serve cobbler is hot or cold, but it can really be served either way! It’s just a matter of personal preference.

    Our personal preference is to serve blueberry cobbler warm and with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream. The cold ice cream slightly melting against the warm blueberry filling is just the best!

    Storing and Freezing Instructions

    Storing

    Leftover blueberry cobbler should be stored in the refrigerator. If baked in a cast iron skillet, carefully transfer the cobbler to an airtight container. If baked in a baking dish, tightly wrap the baking dish in plastic wrap followed by foil (to minimize the amount of moisture). Blueberry cobbler should be eaten within 2 to 3 days from when it was baked.

    Freezing

    If freezing the cobbler, bake in a baking dish (and not a skillet) for easy reheat. To freeze, allow the cobbler to cool completely, then tightly wrap the baking dish in plastic wrap followed by foil. Store in the freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat, preheat oven to 350˚F. Unwrap cobbler and bake (fully frozen) for 20 to 25 minutes or until the cobbler has thawed and heated through.

    The biscuit topping on the cobbler will be slightly soggy once reheated (nothing beats enjoying blueberry cobbler fresh!), but still delicious.

    Variations for Our Blueberry Cobbler

    • Use frozen blueberries if fresh blueberries aren’t available. The frozen blueberries should be used frozen. Just add an additional 2 teaspoons of cornstarch to the filling. The cobbler may also need an additional 5 to 10 minutes of baking time.
    • Add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the filling or biscuit topping! The ground cinnamon adds a really nice aroma and flavor.
    • Add zest of 1 lemon to the biscuit dough. The zest adds a really nice subtle but bright citrus flavor to the biscuit crust.
    • Omit the turbinado sugar from the topping if you prefer a biscuit topping without the crunch.

      Good taste. Needed to keep in the oven longer as it was still doughy in the middle. Maybe use a bigger skillet next time.
