Kitchen Tools
- MIXING BOWLS: One medium-sized mixing bowl for the blueberry mixture and one for the topping batter.
- MICROPLANE or CHEESE GRATER: Use a microplane or a cheese grater/box grater (the side with the small holes) to zest the lemon.
- ELECTRIC MIXER: For mixing the cobbler batter.
- 9 X 13 BAKING DISH: For baking the cobbler.
- MEASURING SPOONS AND CUPS: For measuring and adding the ingredients.
Recipe Tips
- Consistency is key. The topping batter should be thick but pourable rather than thin and runny. To achieve this, follow the instructions listed in the instructions. If you’re finding the batter seems very runny, add a couple of tablespoons of flour, and if you find it quite thick, add a couple of tablespoons of extra milk.
- Bake until brown. To ensure the topping is properly baked through, bake it until browned. There is a TON of moisture in the cobbler from the fruit, so it's common to bake it slightly more than golden and takes up to 45 minutes to bake.
- Give the cobbler time to rest. After baking and before serving, allow it to rest for a few minutes. This will give it time to stop bubbling, thicken, and be easier to serve!
Recipe FAQs
