Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse 6 cups of blueberries under cool water and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Sprinkle 1/3 cup sugar, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon corn starch, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon over the blueberries. Stir gently to combine and let sit for about 5 minutes.
  4. Pour the blueberry mixture into an oval 2.5 to 3-quart baking dish.
Making the Topping
  1. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup sugar, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. Using a pastry blender, cut in 1 stick of cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Pour in 1/3 cup boiling water and stir until just combined.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Spoon the flour mixture over the blueberries, covering them completely.
  2. In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 2 tablespoons sugar together. Sprinkle this mixture over the cobbler topping.
  3. Bake uncovered for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
  4. Let the cobbler sit for about 10 minutes before serving.
  5. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

For the best flavor, choose fresh blueberries when they are in season. If fresh blueberries aren’t available, frozen ones can work; just adjust baking time.
