Prepare the Filling
Toss the blueberries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and melted butter in the baking dish.

The berries turn thick and jammy under soft spoonfuls of golden cobbler topping. Lemon keeps their sweetness bright as the filling bubbles at the edges.
This Blueberry Cobbler is warm, jammy, and topped with soft buttery spoonfuls of golden crust baked right over sweet blueberries! Simple to make and especially good served warm from the oven, it’s the kind of classic fruit dessert that feels right at home at summer dinners, holidays, and family gatherings.

I like when the blueberries bubble up through the topping while it bakes because it makes the cobbler look more homemade. Sometimes I use frozen berries when fresh ones are expensive, and nobody seems to complain once it comes out warm from the oven.

Toss the blueberries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and melted butter in the baking dish.

Stir the dry ingredients together, then add the egg, milk, and melted butter just until a thick, spoonable batter forms.

Drop separate spoonfuls of topping over the blueberries, leaving small gaps for the fruit to bubble through.
Bake until the topping is deeply golden and the blueberry filling bubbles around the edges and near the center.
Let the cobbler stand for 15 minutes, then serve it warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
