Cornbread, blueberries and maple syrup butter give this special dessert a taste that’s different from any cobbler you’ve had before. I came across the recipe many years ago. —Judy Watson, Tipton, Indiana

Ingredients

4 cups fresh blueberries
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon quick-cooking tapioca
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
TOPPING:
1/2 cup butter, softened, divided
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons maple syrup

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, tapioca, lemon peel, cinnamon and nutmeg. Let stand for 15 minutes. Pour into a greased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish.
In a small bowl, beat 1/4 cup butter and confectioners' sugar. Add egg; beat well. Combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating just until combined. Pour over berry mixture.
Bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
In a small saucepan, melt remaining butter over low heat. Remove from the heat; stir in the syrup. Brush over corn bread. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until bubbly. Serve warm. Yield: 12 servings.
