This skillet cake strikes a perfect balance between sweetness and tartness, making it an ideal breakfast or dessert to enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Once the cobbler is baked to perfection, it's crucial to allow it to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. This cooling period ensures that the center of the cobbler sets properly, resulting in a more cohesive texture.



To serve, dust the cobbler with powdered sugar and use a generous serving spoon to portion it into bowls, or if it's cold enough, you can cut in slices and serve. 

Accompany it with a generous scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast of flavors and temperatures.

For a gluten-free recipe, it's worth experimenting and swapping the all-purpose flour with cup-for-cup gluten-free baking flour. While the recipe hasn't been specifically tested with gluten-free alternatives, this substitution may yield favorable results.

When it comes to the skillet, make sure to use a cast-iron or oven-safe skillet (a 10" diameter will work just fine).

Tips and Tricks:

Precise Measuring: As always, to ensure accurate results, it is best to weigh the flour using a food scale. Or you could also spoon the flour into a measuring cup and level it off with a flat edge. Make sure NOT to scoop the flour directly from the bag, as it can pack down and result in too much flour.

Preparing Blueberries: Begin by picking through the blueberries, discarding any stems or bad berries. Give them a good rinse and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove the water. This step guarantees that no extra moisture finds its way into the skillet cake, ensuring a perfect texture.

Mixing with Care: As you prepare the batter, make sure NOT to overmix. Stop stirring as soon as the ingredients come together, ensuring a light and fluffy texture.

Don't hesitate to try this quick and easy recipe for a delightful culinary experience that will leave you 

wanting more. 

Happy baking!
