BLUEBERRY DELIGHT

Category: Cobblers/Crumbles and Crisps

Fruit Sauce:
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
1/4 cup plus 1/3 cup sugar, divided use
1/4 cup water
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp cornstarch

Batter:
1 cup plus 2 tbsp flour
1 tbsp cornmeal
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 large egg, beaten
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled

Vanilla Ice Cream (for serving)

Preheat oven to 375. Spray a 9 inch square glass baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.

In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, 1/4 cup sugar, water, lemon zest and juice, and cornstarch. Simmer over medium-heat until fruit sauce coats back of spoon, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Combine flour, remaining 1/3 cup sugar, cornmeal, baking power and soda, salt and whisk well in a bowl. Set aside.

In a small bowl, combine egg, buttermilk and butter whisking well. Add to dry ingredients, folding carefully and being careful not to over mix. Pour batter into pan, smooth out to level into corners. Pour fruit sauce over batter. If the berries do not sink to the bottom, stir in a S shape with a spatula so the berries and the batter mingle a bit.

Bake until a wooden stick inserted in middle comes out clean, 30-35 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving with vanilla ice cream. Serves 6-8
