  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch salt

Instructions

  • Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F. You can line a baking sheet with foil to catch any drips during baking and set aside.

Notes

If you're using homemade blueberry pie filling, measure out 1 ½ cups.  If you've canned it and have extras, refrigerate the leftovers and use them as an ice cream topping within a week or so.
To make your own from fresh blueberries, simmer the following ingredients on the stovetop for 15 minutes:    
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (mix with sugar to prevent lumps)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups blueberries
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • pinch cinnamon
Then, pour into the dish and proceed with the cobbler recipe as written.
