• Whisk milk and egg together in a bowl; stir into flour mixture until just moistened.
• Spread blueberries in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle tapioca powder over blueberries; drizzle lemon juice over the top. Dot remaining butter pieces over blueberries. Drop batter in mounds over the blueberry mixture.

BLUEBERRY AND NECTARINE COBBLER

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
• For the fruit: Halve the nectarines along their natural seam, but leave skins on. Cut each half into 3 wedges. Toss nectarines with blueberries, sugar, and tapioca and put into a buttered 9-inch round gratin or casserole dish. Dot the top of the fruit with the pieces of butter.
• For the cobbler top: Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Rub in 2 tablespoons of the butter with your fingertips until no visible pieces remain. Rub in the remaining 4 tablespoons butter just until it is in even, pea-size pieces. Whisk together the egg and cream and stir into the dry ingredients to make a shaggy, loose dough.
• Spoon large spoonfuls of dough on top of the fruit in clumps (it should look like rough, old-fashioned cobblestones, hence the name cobbler). Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the topping comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool cobbler on a rack, about 20 minutes.
• Serve warm or room temperature, with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
• Serving suggestions: Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

MANGO-BLUEBERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine mangoes, blueberries and lemon juice. In a small bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and ginger; sprinkle over fruit and toss to coat. Spoon into a 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray., For topping, in a large bowl, combine flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, ginger, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Add buttermilk; mix well. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls into 6 portions onto fruit mixture. Combine remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon; sprinkle over topping., Bake at 35-° for 35-40 minutes or until fruit is bubbly and topping browned. Serve warm.

NECTARINE BLUEBERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a saucepan combine the nectarines, the blueberries, the water, the sugar, the cornstarch, and the lemon juice, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, and simmer it for 5 minutes, or until the fruit is softened. Transfer the fruit mixture to a shallow 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
• Make the biscuits:
• Sift the flour onto a sheet of wax paper, into a bowl sift together the flour, the sugar, the baking powder, and the salt, and make a well in the center. In a bowl beat the cream until it holds soft peaks, spoon it into the well in the flour mixture and combine the mixture with a fork until it just forms a dough. On a lightly floured surface knead the dough until it is combined well, roll or pat it out about 3/4 inch thick, and with a 2 1/2-inch round cutter cut out 6 biscuits.
• Arrange the biscuits on top of the fruit mixture, brush them with the cream or milk, and sprinkle them with the sugar. Bake the cobbler in the middle of the oven for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the biscuits are browned and the fruit is bubbling. Let the cobbler cool slightly and serve it with the ice cream.
