Lake Austin Spa Resort Blueberry Cobbler Featured in FRESH: Healthy Cooking and Living from Lake Austin Spa Resort By Chef Terry Conlan Whether you’re on the production or consumption side, cobblers are one of the friendliest desserts going. They couldn’t be easier to make and almost no one can resist warm fruit under a wholesome, crunchy crust with a scoop of frozen vanilla yogurt served on the side. 8 cups fresh blueberries or thawed frozen blueberries 1/3 cup sugar 3 tablespoons cornstarch Grated zest and juice of one lemon 1 cup flour ½ cup rolled oats 1/3 cup sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon 4 tablespoons light butter, cut into small cubes and chilled ¾ cup buttermilk Combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest and lemon juice in a large bowl. Let stand for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Combine the flour, rolled oats and 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled. Work in the butter with your hands, pinching the bits between your thumb and fingers until the butter is mostly incorporated. Add the buttermilk and stir just until combined. Spray a 4 x 8 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange the blueberry mixture in the bottom, top with the dough mixture. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until the top is crisp browned. Remove from the oven and serve hot with a scoop of low-fat frozen vanilla yogurt. A variety of other fruit, fresh or frozen, can be successfully substituted for the blueberries. We particularly like apples, peaches and cherries. 246 calories/4 fat grams per serving
