I came across a recipe for cobbler that claims to be from the Salt Lick here in Austin, TX which has great brisket and even better peach cobbler. I modified it for blueberries which we purchased at Costco. Here goes:

Batter:
1 stick melted butter (melt while oven is warming)
1 c. flour
1 c. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
2/3 c. room temperature milk
1 room temperature egg, beaten well
(I’d add the zest of a large lemon next time I make it)

Filling
2 lbs. fresh blueberries
1 c. sugar (you can cut back a bit and it will be ok)
1 c. water

Alternatively, you can use this for filling:
1 (28 oz.) can peaches, drained
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg

Melt butter in 9″x13″ pan.
Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Stir in milk and egg.
Pour evenly over melted butter.
Combine filling ingredients and spread over the batter. Do NOT stir.
Bake 35 – 45 minutes or until batter comes to the top and is golden brown and delicious.
Serve warm with ice cream.

My hubby made burgers for dinner (with Austin’s Own BBQ sauce) and then dished this bowl of cobbler for me. OH. MY. The recipe is spot on like the Salt Lick’s I think, only with the blueberries instead of peaches or blackberries. I glutted myself, no lie.

    It was so good. I’m sure you can cut the sugar. I almost finished that bowl you see which is all kinds of wrong. Consider that I had a burger, too!

    used blackberries (fresh picked in Seattle) instead of blueberries and halved the sugar – delicious! thanks for the recipe.
