Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375° F.
- Melt margarine in an oblong Pyrex pan.

- Add blueberries to the mixture.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter instead of margarine. If you want to reduce sugar, you can substitute half of it with honey or maple syrup. To enhance the blueberry flavor, toss the berries in a bit of flour before adding them to the batter, which helps prevent them from sinking. This cobbler pairs beautifully with 'Cranberry Frozen Salad' for a refreshing contrast.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the blueberry cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top. You can also drizzle with a bit of honey for extra sweetness. This dessert pairs well with coffee or tea and makes a delightful finish to a meal, especially alongside 'Lite & Easy Crustless Pumpkin Pie(Low Calorie)'.
Storage & Reheating
Allow the cobbler to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can be kept for up to three days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or warm it in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen blueberries in this recipe. Just make sure to thaw and drain them before adding to the batter to avoid excess moisture, which could affect the texture of the cobbler.
What can I do if I don't have self-rising flour?
If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by mixing 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. This will yield a similar effect in your cobbler.
How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, you can cover it loosely with aluminum foil while it finishes baking.
