Buttery Blueberry Cobbler

Ahhh, the blueberry. Seems we're constantly hearing about the wonderful qualities found in them! I'm sure you already know they're an awesome source of antioxidants, but did you know they boost memory - even reverse memory loss? They reduce your risk of cancer, improve urinary tract health and vision, clean the arteries, strengthen blood vessels.....it's quite possibly the most perfect fruit ever!! Now let's go ruin that by slathering on some butter and drowning them in sugar!! Wahoo!!

This is a recipe my Mom gave to me, and I've made a couple minor modifications to "make it my own". Here it is:

1 stick butter (1/2 cup)
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup sugar
Juice from 1/2 lemon
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 cups blueberries (1 pint; fresh is best, but frozen works too)

Place butter in 1.5 qt. casserole dish, place in oven, and turn on to 350 degrees. Meanwhile, rinse blueberries and pull out any stems. Place in saucepan with 1/4 cup sugar and lemon juice. Slowly bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Stir togther flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, milk, and 1 tsp vanilla. Stir till lumps are gone. Remove casserole from oven. Pour batter mixture over the top of melted butter. DO NOT STIR! When blueberries have been brought to boil and it looks like there's some blueberry juice in the pan, spoon that over the top of the batter (do not pour it out unless you're wearing an apron or don't care about that shirt you're wearing.) DO NOT STIR! Stick it back in the oven for 45 minutes or until top is lightly browned. Let cool for a bit and serve warm. It's incredible with vanilla ice cream! Enjoy!!
