Blueberry Cobbler For One
This single serving blueberry cobbler is baked in a ramekin, with sweet blueberries under a soft, light topping. It's a simple dessert made just for one.

Notes
Check that your baking powder is fresh: Baking powder weakens over time, which leaves the topping flat. To test it, stir ¼ teaspoon into ½ cup of hot water; if it bubbles right away, it's good to use.
Use ripe, sweet blueberries: Taste a few before you start. If they're on the tart side, the cobbler will be too, so stir in a little extra sugar to balance it.
Whisk the batter just until smooth: Stop as soon as the dry streaks disappear. Mixing past that develops gluten and makes the topping dense rather than soft.
Set the ramekin on a baking sheet: It catches any filling that bubbles over the rim and makes the hot ramekin easier to move in and out of the oven.
Start checking at 25 minutes: Ovens vary, so go by how it looks. The topping should be golden and the juices bubbling around the edges before you pull it out.
If doubling the recipe, use two 10-ounce ramekins or one 5x5-inch baking dish.
