Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375º.
  • In an 8-inch square baking dish, mix blueberries, 4 tablespoons of brown sugar, and water. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix 1 cup of flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  • Use any electric mixer for best results. Cream together ¾ cup of softened butter and sugar. This means that you beat it until it forms a smooth, creamy consistency. It is possible to do it by hand, but it will take about ten years of beating. Beat in eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Gradually add flour mixture, beating only until just blended.
  • Drop the batter mixture on top of the blueberries and smooth out as best you can. This part is a little difficult as the berries will want to lift up while you smooth out the batter. The idea is to cover as much of the blueberries as possible with crust.
  • Mix together 5 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, remaining 2 tablespoons of butter (melted now rather than just soft), pecans (if using), 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon until it is crumbly. Add extra flour if needed. Spread streusel topping over the batter.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes, until filling is bubbly and crust is golden brown.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream. It's almost as good served cold.

Notes

I use fresh blueberries to make my cobbler, but you could just as well use frozen. I recommend defrosting them right in the baking dish and omitting the extra water.
