Creeping Crust Blueberry Cobbler

It's that time of year and this is one of our favorites! I got it years ago, when we first moved to Columbiaville and visited Mish's Blueberry Lane Plantation for the first time -circa 1985! This is their recipe. It's a whole lot easier than making pie crust and just as yummy in our opinion. Top it off - a la mode, with a dollop of whip cream or Cool Whip, or eat it just plain...

1/2 cup butter
1 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup milk
2 (4) cups blueberries
1/2 (1) cup sugar*

 ( ) We like more sauce so we double the recipe. :)

Melt butter in 10" baking dish.
Mix flour, sugar and baking powder.
Add milk and mix. Spoon over melted butter.
Heat blueberries with sugar. Pour over dough.
Bake at 350F for about 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown. (crust will rise to the top).

* Depending on your taste - add more or less sugar.
