Blueberry Cobbler

Blueberries make wonderful desserts, either by themselves or cooked in a cobbler like this one.

Ingredients:

• 1½ cups fresh blueberries
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 Tablespoon sugar
• ¼ cup flour
• 1 Tablespoon sugar
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• 1 Tablespoon margarine
• 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
• 1 Tablespoon 2 percent milk

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Place blueberries in a medium saucepan. Combine cornstarch and 1 Tablespoon sugar. Stir into blueberries and heat slowly over low heat for 5 minutes or until thick. Pour fruit into a 1-quart baking dish.
3. Blend together flour, 1 Tablespoon of sugar, and baking powder. Cut in margarine with a fork until mixture looks like very small pebbles. Stir together egg white and milk and add to flour mixture, stirring until a soft, slightly lumpy dough is formed.
4. Crumble dough over blueberry mixture. Bake for 20 minutes or until dough is lightly browned and crusty when tapped.
5. Cool for 10 minutes; be careful, the fruit gets very hot.
