Blueberry Cornmeal Cobbler

Sweet, juicy blueberries meet a golden, slightly savory cornmeal biscuit topping in this rustic blueberry cornmeal cobbler. The contrast between the jammy fruit filling and the lightly crisp, buttery topping makes for an irresistibly comforting dessert. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of honey for the perfect balance of flavors. The combination of juicy blueberries and a crisp yet tender cornmeal topping makes this cobbler deliciously unique!

Ingredients (for 6-8 servings):

For the Filling:

• 4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp cinnamon

For the Topping:

• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup cornmeal
• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• 4 tbsp cold butter, cubed
• ½ cup buttermilk

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking dish.
2. In a bowl, mix blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, and cinnamon. Pour into the baking dish.
3. In another bowl, whisk flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk until just combined.
4. Drop spoonfuls of the cornmeal mixture over the blueberry filling.
5. Bake for 35-40 min. until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling. Let cool slightly before serving.
