Bipolar Blueberry Cobbler

How I hate thee, no how I love thee, now I am depressed, now I am happy, let me run around and get a million things done, where is my medication!!!!!!!! Simmer down now, let me focus, to feel any real sense of myself I need to make others happy so I spent most of the day baking this cobbler (actually it only took an hour, feel the martyrdom, feel sorry for me). Wow I have feelings, I didn't know desert brought out the best in me. Well anyhow the recipe came from Allrecipes and I doubled it except the sugar, it looked like it was too much sugar after 1 cup was sprinkled on the berries. I think I put too much dough on it and had to do a emergency cut in the middle, so hopefully it will turn out. Stay tuned until next time,

the psychotic kid.


Ingredients
  • 5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 cup white sugar, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 8 teaspoons baking powder
  • 12 tablespoons white sugar
  • 10 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups milk
  • 4 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 pinches ground cinnamon
Directions

Lightly grease an 13 x 9 inch square baking dish. Place the blueberries into the baking dish, and mix with vanilla and lemon juice. Sprinkle with 1 cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of flour, then stir in the tablespoon of melted butter. Set aside.






In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and sugar. Rub in the butter using your fingers, or cut in with a pastry blender until it is in small pieces. Make a well in the center, and quickly stir in the milk. Mix just until moistened. You should have a very thick batter, or very wet dough. You may need to add a splash more milk. Cover, and let batter rest for 10 minutes.





Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spoon the batter over the blueberries, leaving only a few small holes for the berries to peek through. Mix together the cinnamon and 2 teaspoons sugar; sprinkle over the top.


Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the topping should come out clean - of course there will be blueberry syrup on the knife. Let cool until just warm before serving. This can store in the refrigerator for 2 days.
