It’s so great this time of year when all the berries are ripening. I especially like blueberries. They are so tasty and good for you. I eat them with yogurt, and freeze them to make smoothies. I had never made cobbler with them so I thought I would look for a recipe and make with Katie today. Mom is with me this week so it’s fun to make a sweet treat for her. Katie likes to help me take care of her great grandma, especially baking sweets for her.
I looked on the Internet for a recipe but found a simple one in my favorite Betty Crocker cook book. I have had this cookbook for over 30 years and I have not been able to find a replacement. As you can see it’s well used. I adapted the recipe using whole wheat flour, sucanat and butter in replacement for all purpose flour, sugar and shortening.
You’ll need:
1/2 cup sucanat
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 cups fresh blueberries
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup milk
Mix 1/2 cup sucanat and cornstarch in medium saucepan. Smile Katie 
Stir in blueberries and lemon juice.
Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils.
Boil and stir for 1 minute.
Pour mixture into ungreased 2 quart casserole dish.
Keep blueberry mixture hot in oven while preparing biscuit topping.
Measure flour,1 tablespoon sucanat, baking powder and salt into a bowl.
Add butter and milk.
Cut in the butter and mix until dough holds together.
Drop dough by 6 spoonfuls over hot blueberry mixture.
Bake at 400 F for 25 to 30 minutes or until biscuit topping is golden brown.
This was so good warm! Tyler ate a whole piece himself.
I would definitely make this again. It wasn’t overly sweet which I like. You really taste the flavor of the blue berries. I think the next time I would spread the biscuit mixture around a bit more. Any variations in how you make with your cobbler?

Oh my, I know another thing we have in common, I believe I have that same cookbook and I believe I got it when I left home. And it is in the same lovable shape yours is in. I love your sweet pictures making this awesome cobble with your sweet little ones. They are so precious and I am jealous you have so much time with them;) (mine live in LA and Houston). That little Katie is just so adorable!
Thank you for sharing this awesome recipe but more important you sweet grandbabies at Freedom Fridays.
Have a marvelous weekend!

This cobbler looks great! Each BC cookbook is somewhat different. I want to find the one I have had for years for my daughter, so I am scouring eBay.

You’re right each one is different. Mine was part of a paper back box set. I never thought about Ebay. Thanks

I have that same cookbook and it looks just as loved-on as yours! I too have had mine for more than 25 years and won’t give it up for anything. It has had many recipe conversions to healthier ingredients too — looks like we have a lot in common in our kitchens.
Your blueberry cobbler is making my mouth water. Thanks for sharing on Hearth & Soul Hop.

I must say your recipe reminds me of my childhood visiting my grandparents during the summer. My Gran used to make Blueberry Cobbler with homemade vanilla ice-cream every Sunday and I loved it. The picture you enclosed looks so delicious that I’m going to try to make it soon..thanks for sharing!
