BLUEBERRY COBBLER

1 bag (1 pound) frozen blueberries (about 3½ cups)

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup turbinado (raw) sugar or granulated sugar, divided

1 teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup milk

3 tablespoons butter, melted

¾ cup boiling water

Preheat oven to 350° F. Spread blueberries in ungreased 8- or 9-inch-square baking dish or pan. Sprinkle with cornstarch; drizzle with lemon juice; set aside. In medium bowl, combine flour, ½ cup sugar, baking powder and salt. Add milk and butter; stir just until combined (not smooth). Drop mounds of dough onto blueberries. Pour boiling water over dough and fruit. Sprinkle with remaining ½ cup sugar. Bake until biscuits are golden brown and blueberries are bubbly, 45 to 50 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
