Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup sugar (for sprinkling on top)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk (2% or higher)
  • ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9×9-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside to prepare the cobbler batter.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of self-rising flour and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Stir well to evenly distribute the sugar through the flour.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in 1 cup of milk, ½ cup of melted salted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Stir everything together until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
  4. Assemble Cobbler: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Distribute 2 cups of fresh blueberries evenly on top of the batter. Sprinkle the top uniformly with ¼ cup of sugar for a sweet, crunchy finish.
  5. Bake: Place the dish on the middle rack of the oven and bake uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 hour. The cobbler is done when the top turns a light golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the blueberry cobbler cool slightly before serving to allow it to set. Enjoy it warm, optionally with ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture; frozen can be used but may make the cobbler more watery.
  • Make sure the butter is melted but not hot when mixing to avoid curdling the batter.
  • Self-rising flour already contains baking powder and salt, so no extra leavening or salt is needed.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently before serving.
