Equipment
- 8-inch square baking dish

Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar

- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces
- 1/3 cup boiling water

Instructions
- Prepare the Blueberries: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a mixing bowl, combine blueberries, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir until well mixed and pour into the baking dish.
- Make the Topping: In another bowl, mix flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in boiling water just until the mixture is evenly moistened.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Spoon the topping over the blueberry mixture. Sprinkle with additional sugar.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbling.
- Serve: Let it cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
