Instructions
To make the filling:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon.
- Transfer to a 1 & 1/2- or 2-quart baking dish.
To make the topping:
- Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, ginger, and salt. Add the butter and mix using a pastry blender, a fork, or your fingers. Mix until the largest pieces of butter are about the size of peas.
- Add the milk, and mix just until the dough comes together.
- Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls over the top of the filling. Sprinkle with sanding sugar or turbinado sugar, if desired.
- Place the baking dish on a lined, rimmed baking sheet to catch any potential spills.
- Bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is browned and the filling is bubbly.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with sweetened whipped cream or ice cream.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To freeze, let cool completely and wrap well or transfer to an airtight container. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating in a low oven or microwave.
- Make Ahead: This cobbler is best served fresh, but it can be made a few hours ahead. Reheat before serving if desired.
- Using Frozen Blueberries: Frozen blueberries can be used if fresh aren’t available. No need to thaw, but you may need to increase the baking time slightly.
- If Your Berries Are Dry or Underripe: If your berries seem dry or not very juicy, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to the filling before baking to help create a saucier result.
