Blueberry cobbler

A blueberry cobbler is a type of fruit cobbler, typically made with blueberries, sugar, butter, flour, and a topping. The topping is usually biscuit-like, made with Bisquick or a similar product.

The earliest known recipe for a fruit cobbler was published in The Virginia Housewife, by Mary Randolph, in 1824. Randolph's recipe called for blackberries, but noted that "cobblers" could be made with peaches, cherries, plums, or apples. The fruit was placed in a deep dish, with a topping of "rich biscuit dough" (which would later be known as a "cobbler crust"). The cobbler was then baked in a hot oven.

The first known recipe for a blueberry cobbler was published in The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book, by Fannie Merritt Farmer, in 1896. Farmer's recipe called for fresh or frozen blueberries, sugar, flour, butter, milk, and baking powder. The cobbler was baked in a hot oven until the topping was golden brown.

Advice

When making a blueberry cobbler, there are a few tips to keep in mind for the best results. Firstly, always use fresh blueberries for the most flavor. When making the pastry, use cold butter and mix only until the dough just comes together. Don't overmix or it will be tough. For the topping, mix together brown sugar, flour, and butter until it resembles wet sand. Sprinkle this over the blueberries before baking for the perfect crunchy topping. Lastly, don't be afraid to experiment with spices like cinnamon and nutmeg to give the cobbler an extra depth of flavor. Enjoy!
