Blueberry cornbread cobbler

Still struggling with balancing work and having time/energy to cook, but give me a few more days and I'll be back! Anyway, I bought all these blueberries, and was going to make a tart, but just wasn't feeling using a stick of butter. So I made a cobbler. A cobbler has a biscuit-like topping, and is over fruit. It's super easy and quick. And good with ice cream.

Cornbread cobbler dough
1/2 c rice flour mix
1/3 c cornmeal
1/2 t xanthan gum
1 1/2 t baking powder
1/4 t baking soda
1/4 t salt
2 t sugar
2-3 T chilled butter
1/3 c milk
Blueberry mixture
6 c blueberries
1/3 c sugar
2 T cornstarch
juice of 1/2 lemon

Preheat the oven to 375.
Combine the flour mix, cornmeal, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Cut in the butter, until it's the size of peas. Stir in the milk.
Toss the berries with the sugar, cornstarch and lemon. Plop the biscuit dough by teaspoons on top of the berries, then brush with a little more milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake 45-50 minutes. Cool slightly, then serve warm as is or with ice cream.
