I wanted to bring something sweet with not all the calories to a party a few weeks back. I went onto the Eating Well Site and found this Double Corn-Blueberry Cobbler. I was surprised how yummy this was, yes I must admit at first I was a little worried when I saw corn in this recipe. I did grind up the corn in my ninja so my guest didn't see chunks of corn. This was a great summer time dish that was loved by all even the men liked it! My parents have several blueberry bushes in their yard, so I thankfully have a ton in my freezer!
INGREDIENTS
FILLING
- 4 cups blueberries or blackberries (about 1 1/4 pounds), fresh or frozen
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon white whole-wheat flour (see Note)
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
TOPPING
- 1 cup white whole-wheat flour
- 3/4 cup cornmeal, preferably medium- or coarse-ground
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 cup corn kernels, fresh, frozen (thawed) or canned (well-drained) - This is what I ground up.
PREPARATION
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- To prepare filling: Combine berries, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, lemon zest and lemon juice in a large bowl. (If using frozen fruit, let stand for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, to thaw the fruit before transferring to the baking dish.) Transfer to a 9-inch shallow glass or ceramic baking dish.
- To prepare topping: Whisk 1 cup whole wheat flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl until well blended. Whisk egg yolk, buttermilk, oil and 3 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to blend. Fold in corn.
- Evenly spoon the batter on top of the berry mixture; the fruit will be almost completely covered with batter. Place the baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake until the berries are bubbly, the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the topping comes out clean, 35 to 50 minutes. Let cool for about 20 minutes before serving.
Enjoy it was a real crowd pleasure!
Have a wonderful week!
