I made this today. Great with vanilla ice cream!

Only change I made was that I warmed the berries on the stove top instead of baking them (oven was on long enough!). Enjoy.

From America's Test Kitchen:

Serves 6 to 8

Filling:

1/2 cup granulated sugar (3 1/2 ounces)

1 tablespoon cornstarch

pinch ground cinnamon

pinch table salt

6 cups fresh blueberries (30 ounces), picked over

1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Biscuit Topping:

1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour (5 ounces)

2 tablespoons cornmeal, stone-ground

1/4 cup granulated sugar, plus 2 teaspoons for sprinkling

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon table salt

4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick), melted

1/3 cup buttermilk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees F.

For the filling: Stir sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt together in large bowl. Add berries and mix gently with rubber spatula until evenly coated; add lemon zest and juice and mix to combine. Transfer berry mixture to (8- or) 9-inch glass pie pan, place pie pan on rimmed baking sheet, and bake until filling is hot and bubbling around edges, about 25 minutes.

For the biscuit topping: Whisk flour, cornmeal, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in large bowl to combine. Whisk melted butter, buttermilk, and vanilla in small bowl. Mix remaining 2 teaspoons sugar and cinnamon in second small bowl and set aside. One minute before berries come out of the oven, add wet ingredients to dry ingredients; stir with rubber spatula until just combined and no dry pockets remain.

To assemble and bake cobbler: Remove berries from oven; increase oven temperature to 425 degrees. Pinch off 8 equal-sized pieces biscuit dough and place on hot berry filling, spacing them at least 1/2 inch apart (they should not touch). Sprinkle each mound of dough with cinnamon-sugar.

Bake until filling is bubbling and biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool cobbler on wire rack 20 minutes and serve.

 
Dawn, I plan to double/triple this for a BBQ tomorrow. Will add the last of my rhubarb. Thanks

 
additions

I always add some freshly grated nutmeg and about a 1/4 tsp of good quality vanilla to any blueberry filling - YUM

I picked up a 6 quart basket of fresh northern ontario wild blueberries on the way home from camping on Tuesday.
