Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the butter or margarine in a pan.
- Mix the self-rising flour, sugar, and milk together until smooth.
- Pour the batter into a greased baking pan.
- Add the blueberries on top of the batter.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour and add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. If fresh blueberries aren't available, frozen berries work well too; just make sure to thaw and drain excess moisture before adding them to the batter.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your blueberry pie-cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. It pairs beautifully with Bobbie Jean'S Cranberry Bread for a delightful brunch spread. Consider adding a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a balanced meal or dessert experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie-cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place a slice in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or warm it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until heated through. This pie-cobbler is best enjoyed fresh, but it can still be delicious when reheated.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits instead of blueberries?
Yes, you can substitute blueberries with other berries like raspberries, blackberries, or even diced peaches or apples. Just keep in mind that different fruits may alter the baking time slightly, so check for doneness as you bake.
What if I don't have self-rising flour?
If self-rising flour is unavailable, you can make your own by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. This will provide the necessary lift and flavor for your pie-cobbler.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free version, substitute the self-rising flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend that contains xanthan gum. Ensure that all other ingredients like butter and sugar are also gluten-free to maintain the integrity of the recipe.
