I've been so busy but I really wanted to get this recipe posted before the blueberry season ends. I love this dessert for a few reasons. It's easy to make and is a real crowd pleaser (not that I ever have crowds at my place). The nice part about this recipe is the natural blueberry flavor. The blueberry base has no sugar, just lemon juice and a small pinch of cinnamon. The only sugar in the recipe is the 2/3 cup in the dough.
This cobbler tastes good warm from the oven when it is juicy and runny with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a different experience enjoy it cold the next day when the juice gets thick and syrupy.

Add milk and continue to mix until the batter becomes a thick lump of dough. Scoop the batter by heaping spoonfuls on top of the blueberries. It should cover the entire top.

Bake in the oven on a baking sheet (to avoid burning if the juice spills over) for 1 hour.
Let stand until warm. Serve with ice cream, creme fraiche or whipped cream.
