Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In an 8-inch square baking dish, melt the butter.
- In a bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg, then stir in sugar until well combined.
- Add milk and whisk until the batter is just combined.
- Pour the batter into the melted butter without stirring.
- Pour blueberries into the center of the batter without stirring.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden and the berries exude juice.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter and adding a splash of vanilla extract to the batter. You can substitute the blueberries with other seasonal fruits like blackberries or peaches if desired. To make it gluten-free, try using a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Ensure not to overmix the batter; it should be just combined for a light texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cobbler warm, topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with American recipes like Delicious Cornbread for a comforting meal. Enjoy it as a dessert or a sweet breakfast treat with coffee or tea.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual servings in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or warm the entire dish in the oven at 350°F until heated through, about 10-15 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen blueberries, but do not thaw them before adding to the batter. This helps prevent excess moisture from making the cobbler soggy. Just fold them in gently to avoid breaking them up too much.
How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Additionally, the blueberries should be bubbling and releasing their juices, creating a delicious syrup.
Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter and blueberries separately a day in advance, storing them in the fridge. When ready to bake, pour the batter into the melted butter, add the blueberries, and bake as directed for a fresh dessert.
