Whip it up week #5



This week I decided to make Blueberry Cobbler! The CSA gave us fresh blueberries so why not put them in a yummy dessert??

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbs sugar
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ cup butter
2/3 cup sugar
1 tbs cornstarch
¼ cup water
4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
1 egg
¼ cup milk
Vanilla ice cream

Directions

For topping, in a medium bowl stir together flour, the 2 tbs sugar, baking powder, and if desired, cinnamon. Cut in butter till mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.

For filling, combine 2/3 cup sugar, cornstarch, water, and blueberries in a saucepan. Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly. Keep filling hot.

In a small bowl stir together the egg and milk. Add to flour mixture, stirring just to moisten. Transfer filling to a 2-quart square baking dish. Using a spoon, immediately drop topping into small mounds atop filling.

Bake cobbler in a 400 oven for 20 to 25 minutes or till a wooden toothpick inserted into topping comes out clean. Serve warm with ice cream.


Difficulty level: Easy

Taste: Great! It wasn't too sweet. The vanilla ice cream was the perfect addition to the dish. CP gobbled it up!

Would I make it again: Definitely. I might cut down on the "topping" part as it is seriously tasty, but at times a bit much if you don't get enough blueberries in the same bite.
