Gluten Free Blueberry Cobbler

Juicy blueberries simmer down into a jammy, jewel-toned filling, brightened with fresh lemon juice and zest and just a whisper of cinnamon. Cornstarch thickens the fruit to that perfect syrupy consistency that clings to a spoon without ever turning gluey. The biscuit-style topping is dropped in craggy spoonfuls right over the berries, so it bakes up golden and craggy on top while staying soft and cakey underneath, with steam escaping through all those little gaps. A scatter of turbinado sugar on top adds a satisfying crunch against the soft crumb once it comes out of the oven. Let it rest those full ten minutes so the filling sets into thick, spoonable pools before you serve it warm with a scoop of something cold and creamy. This one's an easy favorite to add to your gluten free dessert lineup, especially in peak blueberry season.

½ cup whole milk
1 tsp turbinado sugar or granulated sugar

For serving

vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving (optional)
