Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh blueberries and sliced strawberries. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of sugar over the berries and gently toss to coat. Allow the berries to macerate and release their juices while preparing the batter.
- In another mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Pour in the milk and melted butter, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The consistency should be similar to a thick pancake batter.
- Spread the macerated berry mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Carefully pour the batter over the berries, ensuring it covers the fruit completely but do not stir.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the batter comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes. The cooling period allows the cobbler to set and makes serving easier.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. The cobbler can be stored at room temperature, covered, for up to 2 days.
Tips
- • Use fresh, ripe berries for the most intense flavor and best texture • Don't overmix the batter - some small lumps are perfectly okay • Let the berries macerate to release their natural juices and enhance sweetness • Check the cobbler around 25-30 minutes to prevent over-browning • For an extra indulgent touch, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream • If berries are very sweet, you can reduce sugar slightly • Room temperature ingredients help create a smoother, more consistent batter
