Chez Panisse's Blueberry Cobbler

Prep: 10 minutes Cook: 35-40 minutes Servings: 4-6

Ingredients

  • For the Berries:
  • 4 ½ cups fresh blueberries
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • For the Dough:
  • 1 cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • Ice cream for serving

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°. To prepare the berries, place in a bowl and toss with the sugar and flour. Set aside.
  • To make the dough, mix the flour, salt, sugar and baking powder in a bowl. Cut butter into ½-inch pieces; Add butter to flour mixture and cut in with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the cream and mix lightly, just until the dry ingredients are moistened.
  • Put the blueberries in a 1 ½ quart (8X8 inch) baking dish. Make patties out of the dough, 2 to 2 ½ 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 35-40 minutes.
  • Let cool slightly. Serve warm, with vanilla ice cream or whipping cream on top, if desired.
