Cast Iron Blueberry Cobbler Recipes

CAST-IRON COBBLER WITH LOUISIANA BLACKBERRIES AND SASSY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and butter a 10-inch cast-iron skillet.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, 1 cup sugar, the melted butter and milk in a large bowl. Beat well, then pour the batter into the buttered cast-iron skillet. Top with the fresh blackberries. Sprinkle with the remaining cup sugar, then pour the boiling water over the top.
• Bake until the filling is bubbling and the cobbler topping is golden, 35 to 40 minutes. Pour sassy sauce over the top before serving.
• Whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and the heavy cream in a saucepan over low heat until combined and warm. Spike with rum. Pour over the cobbler.

BLUEBERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pulse flour, baking powder, and salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter, and process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer mixture to a large bowl, and add heavy cream in a slow, steady stream, mixing with a wooden spoon until dough just comes together. Divide dough into 9 pieces, and loosely form each into a ball and flatten slightly. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon; toss gently to coat. Transfer mixture to an 8-inch square baking dish. Top blueberry mixture with dough balls, spacing evenly. Brush dough with heavy cream, and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until berries are bubbling in center and biscuits are golden brown, about 55 minutes. Transfer dish to a wire rack, and let cool slightly, about 30 minutes.

SKILLET BLUEBERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Melt the butter in a 10 or 12-inch cast-iron skillet.
• Add blueberries (if using frozen, let fruit thaw at room temperature first) and 2 tablespoons of the sugar.
• Stir gently and cook just until the berries begin to soften. If mixture seems at all dry, add the water.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together flour, remaining 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• Add the milk and stir to make a thick batter.
• Spoon batter onto the fruit.
• Drag a spoon or spatula through batter to make streaks of white and blue. DON'T mix thoroughly.
• Bake until a tester inserted in the biscuit top comes out clean and the fruit is bubbling around the edges, about 20 minutes.
• Serve with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.
• Note: You can make this with fresh or frozen peaches or other berries as well.
• If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, you can use an ovenproof dish. You can heat the butter and fruit in a skillet and then scrape them into a baking dish to continue.
• The cobbler is best served warm directly from the pan. If you have leftovers or plan to keep for a while, transfer to a nonreactive container.
