A Nod to History
Cobbler, a sweet delicacy with a history tracing back to the early British settlers, echoes the vibrant culture and deep-seated traditions of West Texas. These settlers adapted the English steamed pudding to utilize local ingredients and equipment at their disposal, giving rise to the classic cobbler. Now, we're imparting our unique West Texas twist.
The Recipe Assemble these high-quality ingredients for a dessert destined to dazzle.
For the Blueberry Filling:
6 cups fresh blueberries (source from local farmers markets for utmost freshness) 1 cup sugar (C&H Pure Cane Sugar is a trusted option) 3 tablespoons cornstarch (Argo Corn Starch for perfect thickening) A pinch of salt (Morton Salt for a clear, pure taste) 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract is a superior choice)
For the Cobbler Topping:
2 cups all-purpose flour (Pillsbury Best All Purpose Flour for consistent results) 1/2 cup sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder (Rumford Aluminum-Free Baking Powder for a flawless rise) 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces (Kerrygold Unsalted Butter offers a fresh, creamy flavor) 2/3 cup buttermilk (preferably homemade, or use Organic Valley Buttermilk)
For the Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream:
2 cups heavy cream (Organic Valley Heavy Whipping Cream for a luxurious texture) 1 cup whole milk (Organic Valley Whole Milk, a trusted choice)
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract (Nielsen-Massey's Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract for depth of flavor)
Blueberry Cobbler:
Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes for the flavors to meld.
For the topping, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Incorporate the cold butter, blending until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently until the dough comes together.
Pour the blueberry mixture into a baking dish. Scatter spoonfuls of the topping over the blueberries, covering them completely.
Bake for about 45-55 minutes, until the topping turns golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Allow it to cool slightly.
Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream:
Combine the heavy cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Pour this mixture into an ice cream maker, following the manufacturer's instructions for churning.
Once the ice cream has thickened, transfer it to a lidded container. Freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up.
Serve the warm Blueberry Cobbler with a generous scoop of your Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream.
