👩‍🍳 How to Make Easy Blueberry Cobbler

Step 1: Preheat & Melt Butter

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Add the butter to an 8-inch square baking dish and place it in the oven until melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven.

Step 2: Mix Batter

While the butter melts, mix together self-rising flour, sugar, and milk in a medium bowl until smooth. Don’t overmix—just combine until no lumps remain.

Step 3: Assemble the Cobbler

Pour the batter directly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir. Evenly scatter the fresh blueberries across the top. The batter will rise around the berries as it bakes.

Step 4: Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for a few minutes before serving warm.


🍨 Serving Tips

Serve your blueberry cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a classic Southern dessert everyone will love.


💡 Storage & Make Ahead

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warm. You can also prep the batter ahead and refrigerate it until you’re ready to bake.
