Summer desserts don't get better than these mini cobblers: sugar-sweet blueberries bursting beneath a homemade cornmeal crust. You can substitute any fresh summer berries for the blueberries. You can swap peaches or nectarines for the blueberries, too. However, if you get a craving for a blueberry cobbler in the off-season, you can use wild frozen blueberries, which offer an intense blueberry flavor and a rich, finger-staining color. Keeping the butter and your dough cold is key to a delectable crust. You can cut your butter into pieces beforehand and then set it back in the refrigerator to chill until you’re ready to use it.


Ingredients
Blueberries
4 cup(s), washed and picked over
Fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp
Lemon zest
1 tsp
Powdered sugar (confectioner's)
⅔ cup(s)
Cornstarch
1 Tbsp
All-purpose flour
½ cup(s)
Uncooked unenriched white cornmeal
½ cup(s)
Sugar
2 Tbsp, granulated
Table salt
¼ tsp
Baking powder
1½ tsp
Unsalted butter
5 Tbsp, cold
Fat free skim milk
⅓ cup(s)
Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Place two muffin liners in each of 12 muffin holes. (You can use 12 oven-proof custard cups, too.)
2
In a medium bowl, toss blueberries with lemon juice, lemon zest, powdered sugar and cornstarch; mix well. Fill each muffin hole with 1/3 cup of blueberry mixture.
3
In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, salt and baking powder. Cut cold butter into flour mixture with a pastry cutter or back of a fork; work mixture into a coarse meal. Add milk and incorporate until just combined. Knead dough five or six times with your hand until dough just comes together.
4
Roll dough into a ball on a flat work surface (lightly sprinkle surface with flour if dough feels sticky); divide dough into 12 even, smaller balls. To make round crusts, press down on each ball with palm of your hand or a spatula until it’s large enough to completely cover each cobbler; place flattened dough over prepared muffin holes.
5
Bake until crust turns golden, about 25 to 30 minutes. Yields 1 cobbler per serving.
