Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup sugar (for topping)
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
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9×9-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to ensure easy release after baking.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of self-rising flour and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in 1 cup of milk, the melted ½ cup (1 stick) of salted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until the batter is smooth and fully combined with no lumps.
- Prepare the batter in the dish: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or spoon to spread it out evenly across the dish for uniform baking.
- Add blueberries: Evenly distribute the 2 cups of fresh blueberries over the surface of the batter, ensuring they are spaced nicely to get baked evenly.
- Sprinkle sugar on top: Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of sugar evenly over the blueberries to add a caramelized sweetness and crunchy texture once baked.
- Bake the cobbler: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Check that the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating doneness.
- Cool and serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool slightly to set. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor; if using frozen, do not thaw before using.
- You can substitute salted butter with unsalted butter and add a pinch of salt to balance the flavors.
- For a crispier top, sprinkle more sugar on the blueberries before baking.
- This cobbler is delicious served with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Ensure the baking dish is well greased to avoid sticking.
