How To Make Blueberry Cobbler
1. Prepare the baking pan by greasing it with salted butter and then scattering butter slices on the bottom of the pan.
2. Whisk the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and lemon zest together in a large bowl.
3. Stir in the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and salt.
4. Mix in the vanilla simple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, creating a thick paste-like consistency.
5. Add in the blueberries and toss them until evenly coated.
6. Transfer the blueberry filling to the prepared baking pan and bake.
7. As the blueberry filling is baking, the topping must be prepared! Add all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder to a food processor and pulse.
8. Add in the sliced salted butter and continue to pulse until the mixture turns to a crumbly/sandy consistency.
9. Pour the buttermilk and vanilla extract into the food processor and pulse again just until the crumbs have moistened.
10. Drop the topping in clumps onto the hot blueberry filling as soon as it comes out of the oven. It’s okay if there’s space between the clumps of topping!
11. Bake the Blueberry Cobbler until the top is golden brown. The cobbler can then be served right out of the oven for saucier dessert, or you can let it thicken up for an hour to enjoy at room temperature!
How To Serve This Recipe For Blueberry Cobbler
For a saucier blueberry cobbler, you can serve this hot right out of the oven! However, for a cobbler with a thicker consistency, you can allow it to come to room temperature before enjoying it.

Make Cobble Ahead Of Time
Making the cobbler the night before will allow the blueberry filling to penetrate the topping to create a more flavorful dessert!
Blueberry Cobbler Easy Storage
Blueberry cobbler can actually be left out for up to 24 hours. After that, I recommend storing it in the fridge to preserve it for longer to enjoy!
To do so, tightly wrap the baking dish of Blueberry Cobbler with aluminum foil or plastic wrap. If you only have a few servings left, you can also transfer the leftovers into an airtight container.
Store Blueberry Cobbler in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
Can You Freeze Homemade Cobbler?
