Chez Panisse Blueberry Cobbler Recipe
This cobbler recipe, adapted from Chez Panisse via The New York Times, is straightforward yet delivers maximum flavor. Here’s what you’ll need:
- For the Berries:
- 4 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- For the Dough:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 3/4 cup heavy cream plus extra for serving, if desired
Prepare the Berries: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Toss blueberries with sugar and flour in a bowl. Set aside.
Make the Dough: In another bowl, mix flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cream just until combined.
Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the berry mixture into a 1 1/2-quart baking dish. Roll out the dough to 1/2-inch thick and cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter or shape by hand. Place the dough rounds over the berries, leaving gaps for bubbling.
Bake: Place the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any juices. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the berry juices are thick and bubbling.
Serve: Let the cobbler cool slightly. Serve warm with heavy cream or vanilla ice cream.
