CHEF JEFF — ONE BYTE AT A TIME: Blueberry Cobbler

This simple summer fruit recipe is from Mark Bittman’s “How To Cook Everything.”

Blueberry Cobbler

4 to 6 cups blueberries or other fruit, washed and well- dried, peeled and sliced as necessary

1 cup sugar, or to taste

8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into bits, plus some for pan

½ cup all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon baking powder

Pinch salt

1 egg

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Toss fruit with half sugar; spread on lightly greased 8-inch square or 9-inch round baking pan. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, remaining ½ cup sugar in food processor; pulse once or twice. Add butter; process 10 seconds, until mixture is well-blended. By hand, beat in egg, vanilla. Drop mixture onto fruit by spoonful; do not spread it out. Bake until golden yellow, just starting to brown, 35 to 45 minutes. Serve immediately.

Yield: Serves 6 to 8.
