Teacup cobblers

Last week when I wrote about my new Teacupcake baking molds, I got some very helpful (and inspiring!) reader comments. One idea was to bake cupcakes in regular paper liners and then serve them in teacups (how easy!), and another comment was about actually baking in teacups. I'd forgotten that could be done as well, so I pulled out some glass teacups and punch cups from the thrift store and decided to bake cobblers.

I really like how the cobblers turned out, and here's mine halfway through eating! The teacups made serving and portion control super simple, and the fresh blueberries I picked at my parents' house last weekend cooked up beautifully -- and so yummy!

We had some family visiting so I served them these cobblers, and here was the happy result! If you're interested in baking these for yourself, here's the recipe.

Easy Blueberry Cobblers

1 stick margarine, melted
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup sugar, divided
1 cup skim milk
2 cups fresh blueberries

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray six glass teacups/punch cups with cooking spray. Bruise the fruit slightly with a fork or spoon, add 1/4 cup of the sugar, mix well and set aside. Mix remaining sugar with flour. Add milk and melted margarine and blend. Spoon batter among the teacups about 2/3 to 3/4 full. Then spoon blueberries with sugar and juices atop each teacup. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until cobbler is just beginning to brown. (Note: I had a little batter and blueberries left over, but no more glass teacups, so I believe this recipe would make 6-8 cobblers, depending upon the size of the teacups and how full you prefer to make them.) Enjoy!
