Ingredients

• ½ cup white sugar
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup self-rising flour
• ¼ cup cold water
• ½ lemon, juiced
• 4 cups blueberries
• 1 pinch ground cinnamon, or to taste
• 1 egg (Optional)
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, or to taste
• ¼ cup melted butter, or to taste
• water, to cover
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch, or more as needed
• 1 teaspoon coarse sugar, for garnish (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Combine blueberries, 1/2 cup sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan with enough water to just cover; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat until the berries pop and the sugar is dissolved completely, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir cornstarch into 1/4 cup cold water; stir into blueberry mixture. Continue cooking blueberries until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes more. (Mixture will thicken as it cools.)

Step 3

Whisk milk, flour, 1 cup sugar, egg, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth.

Step 4

Swirl melted butter in the bottom of an 8-inch square deep baking dish to coat. Pour batter over the butter. Sprinkle cinnamon over the batter; top with the berries mixture.

Step 5

Bake in preheated oven until the batter is no longer wet, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle coarse sugar over the cobbler. Cool 15 minutes before serving.
