For the Cobbler:
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (for Gluten-Free version, use gluten-free flour)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, plus 2 tablespoons
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- Zest from one lemon
- 6 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice (typically 1 1/2 lemons)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh blueberries, washed and stems removed (about 9 ounces)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Stir in the buttermilk, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 4 tablespoons of the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla. Mix together the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar, remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and the blueberries in a small bowl.
- Place the butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet (or a 9×9 square or round baking dish) and transfer to the preheated oven to melt, and heat the pan for 5 minutes.
- Remove the hot skillet with the melted butter from the oven and pour in the batter. Top with the sugared blueberries – sprinkling them all over the pan evenly. (Save the juice in the blueberries for a cocktail or another use.) Turn the oven down to 375 degrees and bake the cobbler for 30 minutes.
- Transfer to a baking rack to cool slightly.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
