The Berries
The Dough
Preparation
- Step 1
Heat the oven to 375 degrees. To prepare the berries, place in a bowl and toss with the sugar and flour. Set aside.
- Step 2
To make the dough, mix the flour, salt, sugar and baking powder in a bowl. Cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the cream and mix lightly, just until the dry ingredients are moistened.
- Step 3
Put the blueberries in a 1½-quart gratin or baking dish. Make patties out of the dough, 2 to 2½ 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 to 40 minutes.
- Step 4
Let cool slightly. Serve warm, with cream to pour on top, if desired.

Delicious and very easy! I added some lemon zest and lemon juice to the berry/sugar/flour mixture to bring out the taste of the blueberries and it was amazing!
About as easy as dessert gets, added a dash of cinnamon and replaced the cream with buttermilk because buttermilk makes everything better. Served it to my foodie pals with local vanilla ice cream, everyone loved it. I have about a dozen cobbler recipes, this one is now number one.
Easy to make and it's simply delicious. Dough comes out nice and soft - highly recommend this simple dessert. It didn't spike my blood levels!
I could not believe how good this was. Momentarily speechless....Yes. I made it for my partner's adult son and he expressed similar feelings. I didn't change a thing.
Made this recipe almost exactly as it was presented, though plan to play around a bit in the future with lemon and rosemary. This time, the only change I made was adding lavender flowers to the biscuit dough and I am SO glad I did! The lavender blueberry combo is so good and felt fancy while still comforting and home-y. If you like floral flavors, I’d definitely recommend!
