Blueberry Cobbler

Marie's Note:

This unique cobbler recipe starts with a batter added to melted butter in a hot pan. It is then sprinkled with sugared blueberries and baked. The batter rises up around the fruit and it is so yummy! Serve with whipped cream or a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.

This is the first cobbler I've tried, and I thought it was great. Tasted to me almost like angelfood cake, but with gooey blueberries through out it. I think it is delicious!

This taste really good but it is not like any cobbler I have had before. It was more like a Blueberry crumble. It only rose about 3/4 of an inch and there was no crust remaining on the bottom. It was good and quick though.

The amounts of butter and milk should be reduced to 1/4 cup butter, 3/4 cup milk. Therefore, a better batter would rise in a 7x11 pan with 40 min baking time. I feel these corrections would make a successful cobbler. Prepared for July 2008 Cobbler, Pie, Tart Event in the Photo Forum.
