Buttermilk Blueberry Cobbler for Two

Easy Blueberry Cobbler for two

I wanted to share a quick and easy dessert with you this weekend.  This is Spring General Conference weekend for the church that I go to. It’s held twice a year, in the Spring and in the Fall.  It’s an opportunity for us as a whole church to listen to special talks given by our leaders, both male and female and some great music from the Tabernacle Choir. Most families will bake a special treat to enjoy in between the sessions.  
With some it will be donuts, or even pie. Some people treat themselves to ice cream.  I make cobbler. Its what I do.  It’s like the best of both worlds. It’s not quite a pie or donut but is fruity and delicious served with cream or ice cream. You can almost fool yourself into thinking it is good for you because of the fruit. I mean, fruit is all a part of a balanced diet right?

This is a really simple fruit cobbler than most. It whips up really quickly. You can be enjoying this in not much more than half an hour.  It does use fruit pie filling as a base, which is a part of why it is so quick to throw together.

The top is a biscuit type of dough.  I like to sprinkle flaked almonds on top which get all toasty and golden brown. You could also add some grated lemon zest to the dough. Lemon and blueberries are perfect partners.

This is a small batch recipe which makes only two servings but can very easily be doubled to serve four.  I guarantee nobody will be complaining if you serve them this tasty dessert! I enjoyed mine with some thick Devon Cream.  Ice cream is also very nice, especially if you serve the cobbler warm. 

This is the perfect dessert to rustle together when you are in a rush and don’t have a lot of time to really cook much. I promise you it will always go down a real treat!

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE BUTTERMILK BLUEBERRY COBBLER FOR TWO
You would be surprised at just what few ingredients you need to make this. The base is a simple can of pie filling, and I dare say you could use any flavor you wish. Just think of the possibilities!
You will need for the base:
  • 1/2 tin of good quality blueberry pie filling (You can freeze the other half for another time.)
For the topping:
  • 1/2 cup (63g) plain all-purpose flour
  • 3 TBS granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) buttermilk
  • 2 TBS butter, melted and cooled
  • 3 TBS flaked almonds
To serve:
  • vanilla ice cream, pouring cream, custard, whipped or thick cream

You can easily make your own buttermilk in one of two ways. One, whisk together about a teaspoon of either lemon juice or white vinegar with whole milk and leave it sit to clabber for five minutes.  Two, whisk together equal amounts of full fat milk and full fat yogurt.

Don’t worry about the other half of the tin of blueberry filling. You can freeze it for use another time. You can add it to your morning oats as well, very delicious. You can enjoy it simply spooned over ice cream.  Trust me when I tell you it won’t go to waste.

HOW TO MAKE BUTTERMILK BLUEBERRY COBBLER FOR TWO

This is a real doddle to make. You can also easily double it if you wish to serve more than two people. It does make two rather generous servings however, in a pinch three. (So long as none of you are hearty eaters.)



Preheat the oven to 400*F/200*C/gas mark 6. Have ready an 8-inch pie dish or oven-proof skillet.



Place the blueberry filling into the skillet and set aside while you make the topping.  I actually used a small 8-inch enamelware pie dish that I love. I wish I had more of these. They are lovely.

To make the topping, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt together in a bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk and melted butter. (The butter should form little globules of fat.) Stir the buttermilk mixture and the flour mixture together just to combine.



Drop by spoonsful over the top of the blueberry filling in the skillet or pie dish, leaving about 1/2 inch between each. Sprinkle with the flaked almonds.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until the biscuit topping is golden brown and risen, and the blueberry filling is bubbling around the edges.



Serve warm with your preferred accompaniment.

True confessions here, it got a bit darker than it should have.  When I took it out to check it the first time it needed a bit more cooking in the center, so I popped it back in for a few minutes and then promptly forgot about it!  That’s my addled senior’s brain!
It was still very delicious nevertheless.  I enjoyed it with some Devon Cream that I had picked up in the shops a few weeks back. It comes in a little jar and is made by the Devon Cream company. It is not cheap at $12.99 for a small jar, but it is lovely and thick and delicious and makes a wonderful once-in-a-blue-moon treat that I thoroughly enjoyed!
That’s one of the things I really miss from the U.K.  The lovely cream and clotted cream.  Oh yes, I do miss a lot really, but it is nice to know that every now and then I can treat myself with a small jar of this.  Apparently, it also comes in clotted cream, but they only carry the double cream where I live.

If you are looking for simple desserts that are built for two people, nothing gets much better than these tasty options!

CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKES FOR TWO - Also known as melting in the middle chocolate cakes, these small cakes bake up lovely and fudgy with a melted chocolate middle that oozes out when you break into them.  Rich, and delicious, they are fabulous served with some ice cream and or maybe a raspberry coulis sauce!


LEMON DELICIOUS FOR TWO -  Dare I say it, a “delicious” lemon dessert sized perfectly for two people. This is one of my favorite desserts.  You may also know it as Lemon Pudding Cake. Lemon Puddle Cake, etc.  What it is is a magical dessert where the batter splits into two discernable elements, with a delicious light and airy cake on the top and a rich indulgent lemon curd pudding on the bottom.
