A timeless dessert composed of plump, fresh blueberries layered beneath a tender, golden crust. With just a handful of ingredients, this cobbler assembles swiftly and delivers a sweet, comforting treat suitable for any occasion.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and generously coat a 9×9-inch square baking dish with nonstick spray; set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, blend together the self-rising flour and granulated sugar until fully incorporated.
Pour in the milk, followed by the melted salted butter and vanilla extract, and stir gently until the batter is smooth and uniform.
Evenly spread the batter into the prepared dish, ensuring full coverage.
Scatter the blueberries over the top of the batter in a uniform layer, then sprinkle with the reserved ¼ cup of sugar.
Place the baking dish on the center rack of the oven and bake uncovered for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the surface turns a light golden hue and a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving to let the juices settle and flavors meld.
