Blueberry Cornbread Cobbler Recipe

Fresh blueberries baked under a lightly sweet cornbread topping with just a hint of cinnamon. Blueberry Cornbread Cobbler baked in a cast iron skillet couldn’t be easier to make. It’s the perfect dessert for casual summer dining.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Bake Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
12 portions

Ingredients 

  • 1 oz unsalted butter (2 tablespoons)
  • 32 oz blueberries (6 cups)
  • 3 oz granulated sugar (1/3 cup)
  • 1/4 teaspoon table salt
  • 1 each lemon (juice and grated zest)

Topping

  • 2 1/2 oz Stone ground cornmeal (2/3 cup)
  • 2 1/2 oz all purpose flour (1/2 cup, see note)
  • 3 oz cup granulated sugar (1/3 cup)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup Buttermilk (1/2 cup)
  • 2 oz unsalted butter (1/4 cup, melted)
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Set a 9" cast iron skillet over low heat on the stove. Melt the 1 oz unsalted butter in the pan. Swirl the pan to coat the bottom and sides with butter. Or use a casserole dish brushed with melted butter.
  • Combine 32 oz blueberries with 3 oz granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon table salt, lemon juice and finely grated zest. Pour the berries into the skillet.

Cornmeal Batter

  • Whisk together 2 1/2 oz Stone ground cornmeal, 2 1/2 oz all purpose flour, 3 oz cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a mixing bowl.
  • Combine 1/2 cup Buttermilk, 2 oz unsalted butter (melted) and 1 egg. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
  • Drop dollops of the batter all over the berries and spread the batter to cover the berries. Slide a sheet pan covered with foil on the shelf beneath the cobbler in the oven to catch any blueberry boil over.
  • Bake until the topping is golden brown and the berries are bubbling, about 35-40 minutes.
  • Serve warm or room temperature.

Notes

If measuring the flour by volume use the “dip & sweep” method. That is, dip the measuring cup into the flour bin, overfill it, then sweep away the excess.
