Tips for the Best Wild Blueberry Cobbler:
- Fresh Berries: Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh blueberries, frozen blueberries can be used as a substitute.
- Sweetener: Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste preference. You can also use honey or maple syrup as a natural sweetener.
- Butter: Use unsalted butter for the best flavor. If you only have salted butter, omit the additional salt called for in the recipe.
- Biscuit Topping: Make sure the biscuit topping is evenly distributed over the blueberries. This will ensure that each bite has a perfect balance of fruit and biscuit.
- Baking Time: Bake the cobbler until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbling. This usually takes about 45-50 minutes.
