Preparation
- Step 1
Heat the oven to 375 degrees. To prepare the berries, place in a bowl and toss with the sugar and flour. Set aside.
- Step 2
To make the dough, mix the flour, salt, sugar and baking powder in a bowl. Cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the cream and mix lightly, just until the dry ingredients are moistened.
- Step 3
Put the blueberries in a 1½-quart gratin or baking dish. Make patties out of the dough, 2 to 2½ inches in diameter and ½-inch thick. Arrange them over the top of the berries. Bake until the topping is brown and the juices bubble thickly around it, about 35 to 40 minutes.
- Step 4
Let cool slightly. Serve warm, with cream to pour on top, if desired.

4 1/2 cups = 27 oz = 765 grams fresh blueberries
Delicious and very easy! I added some lemon zest and lemon juice to the berry/sugar/flour mixture to bring out the taste of the blueberries and it was amazing!
About as easy as dessert gets, added a dash of cinnamon and replaced the cream with buttermilk because buttermilk makes everything better. Served it to my foodie pals with local vanilla ice cream, everyone loved it. I have about a dozen cobbler recipes, this one is now number one.
recipe is amazing, i added zest of two lemons, in addition i brushed the biscuit top with cream and sprinkled sanding sugar this is one of the best summer desserts ever
I made this cobbler exactly as written using fresh, ripe and sweet blueberries. It was perfection! The best cobbler ever! I think that if my blueberries weren’t in season or I were using frozen berries, I would have added a squeeze of lemon and some zest as others have suggested. But if your blueberries taste amazing as is, the lemon isn’t necessary.
I've made with fresh peaches and everyone raved but I found I needed to add a little more cream (a couple of tablespoons) to keep the biscuits tender and from being dry. I also added sparkling sugar on top of the biscuits before baking and it gave more texture and flavor to them!
