Cast Iron Blueberry Cobbler Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare the berries: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with butter and set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine the berries, granulated sugar, flour, lemon zest and balsamic vinegar. Pour into the pan and smooth into an even layer.
• Make the topping: In another mixing bowl, mix both sugars, the flour, oats, cinnamon and salt. Cut in the butter until you have a coarse crumb and the flour is fully hydrated. Sprinkle this mixture evenly and loosely over the top of the berries. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown, crisp and bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit at least 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Melt the butter in a 10 or 12-inch cast-iron skillet.
• Add blueberries (if using frozen, let fruit thaw at room temperature first) and 2 tablespoons of the sugar.
• Stir gently and cook just until the berries begin to soften. If mixture seems at all dry, add the water.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together flour, remaining 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• Add the milk and stir to make a thick batter.
• Spoon batter onto the fruit.
• Drag a spoon or spatula through batter to make streaks of white and blue. DON'T mix thoroughly.
• Bake until a tester inserted in the biscuit top comes out clean and the fruit is bubbling around the edges, about 20 minutes.
• Serve with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.
• Note: You can make this with fresh or frozen peaches or other berries as well.
• If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, you can use an ovenproof dish. You can heat the butter and fruit in a skillet and then scrape them into a baking dish to continue.
• The cobbler is best served warm directly from the pan. If you have leftovers or plan to keep for a while, transfer to a nonreactive container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In an 8 inch square baking dish, mix blueberries, 3 tablespoons sugar, and orange juice. Set aside. In a small bowl, thoroughly mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, cream butter and 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Gradually add flour mixture, stirring just until ingredients are combined. Drop batter by rounded tablespoons over blueberry mixture. Try to cover as much of filling as possible.
• Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbling.

Steps:

• For piecrust, combine flour and salt; cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly.
• Sprinkle water, 1 T at a time, evenly over surface; stir with a fork just until dry ingredients are moistened.
• Roll piecrust to 1/4 inch thickness.
• Fit into a 10-inch cast iron skillet.
• Trim excess pastry along edges, reserving trimmings.
• Prick bottom and sides of piecrust with a fork.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes.
• Remove from oven; set aside.
• Cut butter into flour with a pastry blender until crumbly; add 1/2 c sugar.
• Place 1/3 of berries in piecrust; sprinkle with about 1/3 remaining sugar.
• Sprinkle with 1/3 flour mixture.
• Top with 1/3 of pastry trimmings.
• Repeat layers twice.
• Sprinkle with additional sugar.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 50 minutes or until crust is lightly browned.

• Pour melted butter into a large cast iron skillet.
• Whisk baking mix, sugar, and milk together in a bowl. Pour mixture into skillet. Evenly sprinkle blueberries over batter.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pulse flour, baking powder, and salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter, and process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer mixture to a large bowl, and add heavy cream in a slow, steady stream, mixing with a wooden spoon until dough just comes together. Divide dough into 9 pieces, and loosely form each into a ball and flatten slightly. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon; toss gently to coat. Transfer mixture to an 8-inch square baking dish. Top blueberry mixture with dough balls, spacing evenly. Brush dough with heavy cream, and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until berries are bubbling in center and biscuits are golden brown, about 55 minutes. Transfer dish to a wire rack, and let cool slightly, about 30 minutes.
