Blueberry Cobbler

Blueberry Cobbler
For the filling:
  • 6 cups fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • zest of 1 lemon
For the topping:
  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chilled butter, cut in small pieces
  • 3/4 cup half and half
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. 2 In a large mixing bowl combine blueberries, sugar, vanilla, juice and lemon zest. Pile mixture into a large baking dish or pie plate.
  3. In another bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in the butter until it resembles coarse meal. Lightly toss with the half-and-half until it forms a soft dough. Drop batter by tablespoon size pieces over the blueberries until the surface is almost covered. Lightly pat the dough down to evenly distribute the top, but leave spaces for the blueberries to show through. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar..
  4. Bake in preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until topping is golden and filling is bubbling. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired. 
    Makes 12 servings
