Call it the reverse cobbler. Instead of fruit on the bottom and biscuit dough on the top, David Joachim, author of Global Kitchen, turns it upside down and uses a dough that’s close to a pancake batter. The dough goes in the bottom of the pan and the fruit is strewn across the top. Hands-on time in this recipe, about seven minutes. Delicious, too.

Please share the recipe for the 7 minute blueberry cobbler with me.
Hey, Donna. It’s the prep time in the blueberry cobbler recipe (just above) that takes the 7 minutes. Baking time, of course, is the standard cooking time for a cobbler.
Just made this for our 4th of July. My modifications are; brown sugar, a packet of (powdered) true lemon, and turbine sugar sprinkled on top. It’s gonna be great!
Pretty much the same as a clafoutis, isn’t it?
Very similar, sure. Though clafoutis is egg-rich and custard-based.
