Fruit Base

  • 3/4 cup white sugar Adjust based on berry sweetness.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice Adds brightness to the berry flavor.

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter Melted for the base.
  • 1 cup self-rising flour Can substitute with all-purpose flour mixed with baking powder and salt.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut butter into chunks and place in a deep 9x13 inch baking dish. Slide the dish into the warming oven to melt the butter.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine fresh blueberries with 3/4 cup of sugar and lemon juice. Toss gently to create a naturally sweet syrup.
Cobbler Assembly
  1. In another bowl, whisk together self-rising flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Create a well in the center, then pour in milk and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined.
  2. Carefully spoon seasoned blueberries over the melted butter, then pour the batter over the berries without worrying about perfect coverage. Dust with ground cardamom.
Baking
  1. Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes until golden brown and juices are bubbling.
Serving
  1. Let the cobbler cool for 15 minutes before serving warm.
