Blueberry Cobbler

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 300°F (150°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).

  2. Line a pudding dish with pastry.

  3. Fill the dish with well-picked ripe blueberries.

  4. Sprinkle the blueberries with sugar.

  5. Cover with a top crust, making slashes in it with a knife.

  6. Bake for 30 minutes.

  7. Serve with cream and additional sugar.

Recipe from a historical cookbook (Internet Archive).

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
