Blairsville Blueberry Concoction

It's blueberry season! We love all kinds of blueberry desserts, especially cobbler and pie. This recipe is relatively easy, uses ingredients we usually have on hand and is a cross between cobbler and pie. More importantly, it is delicious!

Prep:

Grease an 8”x8" square pan.

Preheat the oven to 375 F.

Put 1 pint of fresh or frozen blueberries in the bottom of the pan and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Set aside.

Batter:
Cream together 1/4 cup softened butter and 3/4 cup sugar.

Add 1/2 cup milk, 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix well.

Spread over berries - it will be thick so it needs to be done by the spoonful.  Do not stir into berries

Topping:
Mix in bowl 3/4 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle over batter.

Pour on 1 cup boiling water. (Yes, that's right, boiling!).  DO NOT STIR IN.

Put in the oven and bake for 45 to 60 minutes. (Use the longer time if berries were frozen, shorter time if fresh.)

Serves 4-6

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whip cream.
