This was the fruit cobbler Gracie Jo Grey’s mother taught her, and she’s been making it ever since.

  • 1½ sticks (6 ounces) butter
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 cups blueberries

Makes 6–8 servings

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Place butter in a medium-size baking dish and melt it in the oven.

2. Remove melted butter from the oven and swirl it around, making sure it evenly reaches all sides and corners.

3. Sift the flour, baking powder, and 1½ cups sugar into a mixing bowl. Stir in the milk and pour the batter into the buttered baking dish.

4. Evenly pour the blueberries over the batter and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
