Why This Works
The addition of cornmeal to the topping absorbs the excess moisture from the blueberries, resulting in a crispy, satisfying texture rather than a soggy crust.
The Upgrade
Add a pinch of sea salt over the top of the cobbler immediately after it comes out of the oven.
Chef's Secret
Michelin TechniqueEnsure the butter is kept cold until the very last second; it creates small pockets of steam that make the topping light and flaky.
