" Respond to this post by replying above this line New post on In Dianes Kitchen Wartime Blueberry Cobbler by indianeskitchen At a time when certain ingredients were limited, fruit based desserts such as this simple Blueberry Cobbler became popular because the seasonal fruit filling created most of the dessert and a layer of cake on top required only a little required fat. This recipe is from the book Grandma's Wartime Kitchen. Spray a 8" x 8" baking dish with cooking oil. In a bowl combine the blueberries, 2 Tbsp. of the brown sugar and the cornstarch. Spread the mixture into the prepared dish. In a medium bowl combine the flour, remaining brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture forms fine crumbs. Add the milk, egg and vanilla extract stirring just until combined. Spoon the mixture over the berries or spread it out like I did. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 - 35 minutes or until the center springs back when lightly pressed. Cool for 15 minutes then cut into 6 rectangles and serve.
