Ingredients
Batter
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk (2% or higher)
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and set it aside.
- Mix the 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 ingredients.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in 1 cup of milk, ½ cup melted salted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Stir everything together until you achieve a smooth, well-combined batter without lumps.
- Prepare the batter in the dish: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and spread it out to fill the corners evenly.
- Add blueberries: Scatter 2 cups of fresh blueberries evenly over the surface of the batter to ensure every bite has juicy fruit.
- Sprinkle sugar: Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of granulated sugar evenly over the blueberries to create a sweet, slightly crunchy topping after baking.
- Bake the cobbler: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating it is fully cooked.
- Cool and serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving to let it set. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- You can substitute self-rising flour with all-purpose flour plus 1½ teaspoons baking powder and ¼ teaspoon salt if needed.
- For a richer flavor, use whole milk or cream instead of 2% milk.
- If fresh blueberries are out of season, frozen blueberries can be used—do not thaw before adding.
- To make it gluten free, use a gluten-free self-rising flour blend.
- Leftovers keep well covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently.
