- 3 pint(s) blueberries, picked over for stems (may substitute 6 cups frozen blueberries)
- .5 cup(s) water
- .5 cup(s) sugar
- 4 teaspoon(s) cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon(s) lemon juice
- 1.75 cup(s) flour
- 3 tablespoon(s) sugar, plus more for sprinkling
- 1 tablespoon(s) baking powder
- .25 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1 cup(s) heavy cream, plus additional for brushing
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- To make filling: Combine the blueberries, water, sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Transfer the mixture to an ungreased 1-1/2 quart shallow baking dish.
- To make biscuits: Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the cream with an electric mixer just until it holds soft peaks. Spoon the cream into the dry ingredients and stir with a fork just until a dough begins to form.
- On a lightly floured surface, pat the dough out to 3/4-inch thickness and, with a 2 1/2-inch star-shaped cutter, cut out 6 stars. Gather the scraps together and pat out again, if necessary. Cut stars from remaining dough. Arrange biscuits on top of berries, brush with cream and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake 15 to 17 minutes, until the berries are bubbling and the biscuits are browned. Let the cobbler cool slightly. Serve warm.
In a hurry? Use premade refrigerated biscuits. Cut them into star shapes with a cookie cutter.
