I have this dream of some day owning a cafe and then in our retirement years a bed and breakfast by the sea! I am always keeping recipes for my bed and breakfast years and this blueberry recipe would be like a signature cobbler. Blueberries are one of my most favorite fruits. I think it would be nice with a scoop of ice cream, I also think it would be delicious with some fresh whipped cream or even in the morning with some fresh cream in a bowl. How about a nice cup of coffee or tea to go with it! You don't have to use the blueberry sauce, but it's very good with the ice cream scoop. I will be posting ice cream recipes soon ... look for those!
Enjoy this recipe.
Blueberry Streusel Cobbler Serves 12
1 pint fresh or frozen blueberries (I always try to use fresh, but see my tip on frozen)
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
2 t. grated lemon peel
3/4 c. + 2 T. cold butter
2 c. biscuit baking mix
1/2 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 c. chopped pecans or walnuts (I like a mixture of both)
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a small bowl, combine blueberries, sweetened condensed milk and lemon peel.
2. In a large bowl, cut 3/4 c. butter into 1 1/2 c. biscuit mix until crumbly; add blueberry mixture. Spread into a greased 9" square baking dish.
3. In another small bowl; combine remaining biscuit mix and sugar; cut in remaining 2 T. butter until crumbly. Add nuts. Sprinkle over cobbler.
4. Bake 1 hour and 10 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm with ice cream topped with blueberry sauce (recipe below). Refrigerate any leftover cobbler.
Blueberry Sauce:
in a saucepan combine 1/2 c. sugar, 1 T. cornstarch, 1/2 t. ground cinnamon and 1/4 t. ground nutmeg. Gradually add 1/2 c. water. Cook and stir until thickened. Stir in 1 pint of blueberries; cook and stir until hot.
