Ingredients

• 4 cups huckleberries
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the huckleberries, 0.5 cups of granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Heat over medium heat, stirring gently, until the mixture starts to bubble and thicken, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

Step 3

Place the unsalted butter in a 9-inch baking dish. Heat the dish in the preheated oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the butter has melted. Carefully remove the dish and swirl the butter around to coat the sides and bottom evenly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, remaining 0.25 cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir in the milk and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and just combined.

Step 5

Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir.

Step 6

Spoon the huckleberry mixture on top of the batter. Do not mix; the batter will rise around the fruit as it bakes.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 8

Allow the cobbler to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Optionally, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
