Ingredient List

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 4 cups blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons shortening
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Whipped cream, if desired

Preparation

  1. Heat oven to 400°F.
  2. Mix 1/2 cup sugar and the cornstarch in 2-quart saucepan. Stir in blueberries and lemon juice. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute. Pour into ungreased 2-quart casserole; keep blueberry mixture hot in oven.
  3. Mix flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, the baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in milk. Drop dough by 6 spoonfuls onto hot blueberry mixture.
  4. Bake uncovered 25 to 30 minutes or until topping is golden brown. Serve warm. Top with whipped cream.

Tips

  • Prepare this classic fruit cobbler with 4 cups sliced peaches in place of the blueberries, and add 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Or use half blueberries and half peaches for a yummy combination!
  • This dessert is delicious with fresh berries! Don’t be tempted to use frozen blueberries for this recipe—they can become mushy when cooked.
