Ingredients

For the dough

  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter grated
  • ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon sour cream

For the blueberry mixture

  • 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 6 cups fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
  • Vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

For the dough

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add butter; using your fingertips, incorporate until only small lumps remain. Gently mix in sour cream and knead until a biscuit-like dough forms.

For the blueberry mixture

  • Combine the flour, sugar, berries, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a large bowl. Toss to combine. Pour into a medium sized skillet. Tear the biscuit dough into pieces and scatter over berries leaving some of the blueberries exposed.
  • Transfer the cobbler into the oven and bake until juices are thick and bubbling and topping is cooked through and golden brown, about 45-50 minutes. Let cool for at least 1 hour. Scoop ice cream on top and serve.

Notes

The biscuit dough is beyond, you’ll want to eat it just straight out of the skillet. I make mine with sour cream, but you could easily get a little jazzy and use creme fraiche. Your call!
