Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a slightly different flavor, try adding a splash of vanilla extract to the batter. You can substitute some of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option. If you don’t have fresh blueberries, frozen ones work well too; just add them directly from the freezer without thawing. Don’t skip the cinnamon and lemon peel, as they elevate the overall flavor profile.
Serving Suggestions
Sally's Prize Blueberry Cobbler is delightful when served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea for a comforting dessert. For a refreshing twist, serve with fresh mint leaves or a drizzle of lemon glaze.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits besides blueberries?
Yes, you can substitute blueberries with other berries such as raspberries or blackberries, or even diced peaches or apples. Just ensure the fruit is ripe for the best flavor. If using apples, consider adding a bit more cinnamon for an extra kick.
What if I don't have baking powder?
If you run out of baking powder, you can make a substitute using 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda combined with 1/2 teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice for each teaspoon of baking powder needed. This will help your cobbler rise and remain fluffy.
Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the cobbler the day before and store it in the refrigerator before baking. Just cover it tightly with plastic wrap or foil. When you're ready to bake, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before placing it in the oven.
