Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups fresh blueberries rinsed and dried
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar packed
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup cold butter cubed
  • ¼ cup boiling water
  • 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar optional, for sprinkling
  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Fresh mint leaves optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375°F). Set up for indirect heat cooking by turning off one burner (gas grill) or moving coals to one side (charcoal grill).
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, cinnamon, and salt until berries are evenly coated. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet with butter. Pour the blueberry mixture into the skillet, spreading evenly.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, both sugars, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in boiling water until just combined (mixture will be sticky).
  5. Drop spoonfuls of topping evenly over the blueberry mixture. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar for extra crunch if desired.
  6. Place the skillet over the indirect heat section of your grill. Close the lid and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
  7. Carefully remove the skillet from the grill (it will be very hot!) and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes.
  8. Scoop warm cobbler into bowls and top with vanilla ice cream and optional mint leaves.
