Ingredients

Blueberry Filling

6 cups frozen blueberries
¼ cup packed light brown sugar you can substitute with granulated sugar
2 tbsp flour
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Crust

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
⅓ cup butter room temperature ( I used salted butter, but you can also use unsalted)
¾ cup sourdough discard

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 °F
In a large bowl, add the frozen blueberries, light brown sugar, flour, and lemon juice. Mix well.
Pour the blueberry mixture into a 9-inch cast iron skillet. Spread evenly. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, make the crust. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar together.
Add in the butter. Mix well.
Add the sourdough discard and mix until all ingredients are combined.
You will have a sticky and thick cookie looking dough.
Use a large spoon and spoon the dough on top of the blueberries. Don’t mix. Use a knife or offset spatula to gently spread the dough evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. The top will be golden and the blueberry mixture will be bubbly.
Cool for 5-7 minutes.
Serve and enjoy with fresh whipped cream or ice cream.

Notes

Serve the cobbler with vanilla ice cream or fresh homemade whipped cream.
Storage: Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Re-warm: Place a portion in a heatproof bowl in an air fryer at 330 degrees F for 2-3 minutes.
I used a cast iron skillet. You can also use a 9x9 baking dish.
Have fun with the recipe:
