I have never been a big blueberry fan, don't ask why, I don't really have an answer. I think I have never really tried them before and I came across 2 cobbler recipes at the same time and thought why not try them. I kind of combined the 2 and this is the resulting recipe. It's fairly easy to make, I do need to invest in a pastry blender though. Giada always uses a food processor to make her doughs, that might have worked with this recipe. Maybe I'll try that next time. I would also like to try this using fresh berries when they come into season as opposed to the frozen ones, but they did taste good.
Blueberry Cobbler
2 12-ounce bags frozen blueberries, thawed
1/3 cup plus 5 tablespoons sugar
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2/3 cup milk
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter an 8x8x2 baking dish.
Mix blueberries with 1/3 cup sugar, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of flour. Spoon into baking dish.
In large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour,3 Tbsp. sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut the butter into mixture using a pastry blender. until it resembles coarse meal. Add milk and vanilla and stir with a fork to form a sticky dough. Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough over blueberries to cover them. Sprinkle remaining 1 Tbsp. of sugar over cobbler and place into oven. Bake 40 to 45 minutes until bubbly and golden brown. Let cool for 20 minutes before serving.

Our family never really had the blueberry pie or cobbler thing going...it was always peach cobbler.
