Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups huckleberries
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium saucepan, combine the huckleberries, 0.5 cups of granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Heat over medium heat, stirring gently, until the mixture starts to bubble and thicken, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
Place the unsalted butter in a 9-inch baking dish. Heat the dish in the preheated oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the butter has melted. Carefully remove the dish and swirl the butter around to coat the sides and bottom evenly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, remaining 0.25 cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir in the milk and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and just combined.
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
Spoon the huckleberry mixture on top of the batter. Do not mix; the batter will rise around the fruit as it bakes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Allow the cobbler to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Optionally, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
