Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk (2% or higher)
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- ¼ cup sugar

Fruit Topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×9-inch square baking dish by spraying it lightly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the self-rising flour and 1 cup granulated sugar. Stir thoroughly to ensure they are evenly mixed.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in the milk, melted salted butter, and vanilla extract into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir continuously until the batter is smooth and well combined, with no lumps.
- Prepare the batter base: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out smoothly with a spatula.
- Add blueberries: Evenly scatter the fresh blueberries over the top of the batter layer, ensuring an even distribution for balanced fruitiness in every bite.
- Sprinkle sugar: Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of granulated sugar evenly over the blueberries. This helps create a sweet, crisp top after baking.
- Bake: Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the cobbler’s top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating it is fully cooked.
- Cool and serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for about 10-15 minutes. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, do not thaw before adding.
- Self-rising flour is essential for this recipe to ensure proper rise and texture.
- Butter should be melted but not hot to avoid cooking the batter prematurely.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra decadent treat.
- Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
