Ingredients

For the Biscuit Topping

All-Purpose Flour (3/4 cup, spooned and leveled): Forms the base of the tender biscuits.
Whole Wheat Flour (1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons, spooned and leveled): Adds a nutty, rustic flavor.
Cane Sugar (2 1/2 tablespoons): Lightly sweetens the biscuits.
Baking Powder (1 1/4 teaspoons): Helps the biscuits rise and stay fluffy.
Lemon Zest (1 teaspoon): Adds a bright, citrusy note.
Sea Salt (1/2 teaspoon): Balances the sweetness.
Full-Fat Coconut Milk (1/2 cup): Keeps the biscuits moist and adds a subtle richness.
Unsalted Butter (4 tablespoons, frozen and grated, plus more melted for brushing): Creates a flaky, buttery texture.
Coarse Sugar or Cane Sugar (for sprinkling): Adds a crunchy, sweet finish.

For the Fruit Filling

Fresh Blueberries (2 pints, 4 cups): The star ingredient, bringing sweet-tart juiciness.
Cane Sugar (2 tablespoons): Enhances the blueberries’ sweetness.
Cornstarch (2 tablespoons): Thickens the fruit juices for a perfect filling.
Fresh Lemon Juice (1 tablespoon): Adds a tangy kick to balance the sweetness.
Vanilla Extract (1 teaspoon): Adds warmth and depth to the filling.
Vanilla Ice Cream (for serving): The perfect creamy complement to the warm cobbler.

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Oven and Dish

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Tip: A square or round baking dish works well to ensure even baking.

Step 2: Make the Biscuit Topping

In a large bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour, 2 1/2 tablespoons cane sugar, 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt.
Form a well in the center and add 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk and 4 tablespoons frozen, grated unsalted butter.
Use a spatula to fold the mixture until it forms a cohesive ball of dough.
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll into a 1/2-inch-thick circle.
Use a 2 1/4-inch round biscuit cutter to cut out 9–11 biscuits, rerolling scraps and dusting with flour as needed.
Transfer the biscuits to a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet and refrigerate while preparing the filling.

Tip: Grate the butter straight from the freezer to keep it cold for flaky biscuits.

Step 3: Prepare the Fruit Filling

In a medium bowl, combine 4 cups fresh blueberries, 2 tablespoons cane sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Toss gently until the blueberries are well coated.

Tip: Toss lightly to avoid crushing the berries, ensuring a juicy filling.

Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler

Pour the blueberry filling into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Arrange the chilled biscuits evenly on top of the filling.
Brush the biscuit tops with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sugar or extra cane sugar.

Tip: Place biscuits close but not touching for a rustic look and even baking.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 25–35 minutes, until the blueberries are bubbling and the biscuits are golden brown.
Let cool for 15 minutes to allow the filling to set.

Tip: Check at 25 minutes—if the biscuits brown too quickly, cover with foil for the remaining time.

Step 6: Serve

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on each portion.
Enjoy the juicy, buttery goodness!

Tip: Add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of lemon zest for an extra-special touch.
