-BUTTERMILK BISCUIT CRUST-
3 c  Self-rising cake flour
3/4 c  Unsalted butter
1 1/4 c  Buttermilk

-FILLING –
3 pt Blueberries
– rinsed and picked over
3/4 c Sugar
2 ts Finely grated lemon zest
1/2 ts Freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
3 tb Unsalted butter

-FOR FINISHING-
Buttermilk
Sugar

FOR THE DOUGH: Place flour in a bowl and rub in butter until fine and
mealy. Do not allow to become pasty. Stir in 1 cup of the buttermilk,
adding the remainder if necessary. Press dough together on a floured
surface, wrap and allow to rest while preparing filling.

FOR THE FILLING: Preheat oven to 450F and set rack in the middle level.
Place blueberries in a bowl and add remaining filling ingredients, except
butter. Toss well to combine and pour filling into a 2-quart gratin dish or
other baking dish. Distribute pieces of the butter evenly on the filling.
On a floured surface, with the palms of the hands, press out the dough to
the size of the baking dish and slide a thin cookie sheet under it. Slide
the dough onto the filling. Cut 3 or 4 vent holes in the crust with the
point of a knife. Paint the top crust evenly with the buttermilk and
sprinkle with sugar. Bake the cobbler about 20 minutes, until crust is well
colored and filling is bubbling. Cool slightly on a rack and serve warm or
at room temperature with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
