• Lemon juice: Elevates the overall flavor with a citrusy zing. Freshly squeezed or bottled, either will do the trick.
• Flour: This pantry staple forms the base of the cobbler topping. For a gluten-free option, you can use a gluten-free 1:1 flour substitute.
• Baking powder: Key for a fluffy, risen cobbler crust. Always double-check the freshness of your baking powder to ensure it performs as expected.
• Salt: A pinch enhances the sweetness and rounds out the flavors, making it a must-add to your ingredient list.

Freezing Fresh Blueberries: A Simple Guide

Got a bounty of fresh blueberries? Freezing them is a cinch and extends their shelf life significantly. Just arrange the blueberries in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Pop the sheet into the freezer and wait until the berries are fully frozen. Once that’s done, shift the frozen blueberries into a ziplock freezer bag. Store them in your freezer, and they’ll stay good for up to six months. Perfect for off-season blueberry cobbler cravings!

Expert Tips

• Temperature Matters: Preheating your oven is crucial. Make sure your oven reaches the exact temperature before you start baking. I recommend using anoven thermometerwhich can help with this and ensure consistency in your results.
• Baking Sheet Hack: Always place your ramekin on a baking sheet. Not only does it make it easier to take in and out of the oven, but it also catches any spills, saving you from a potential oven clean-up.
