Method
Prepare the Filling
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the cobbler bakes evenly and the topping becomes golden brown.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, ½ cup of sugar, flour, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt. Gently toss to coat the blueberries without crushing them.
- Pour the blueberry mixture into a greased 9-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
Make the Biscuit Topping
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining ¼ cup of sugar. This helps to evenly distribute the leavening agent and sweetener.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This step is crucial for a flaky topping.
- Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay. This will keep the biscuit topping light and tender.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit batter over the blueberry filling, leaving some gaps for the filling to bubble up during baking.
Bake the Cobbler
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly, making it easier to serve.
