My Blueberry Crow's Nest was inspired by a recipe I found in a vintage cookbook, The Lilly Wallace New American Cookbook, published in 1945. When I was flipping through it, I found something called an Apple Crow's Nest. After reading the recipe, I realized it was an apple cobbler that had been flipped upside down after baking. I decided to try it with blueberries instead, adding lemon juice and corn starch. For the crust, I decided to to adapt a cornmeal biscuit recipe I found in a cookbook titled Rustic Fruit Desserts by Cory Schreiber and Julie Richardson. To adapt their crust, I just omitted the turbinado suger and installed the dough differently. I love flipping the cobbler upside down to serve because the berries are so dark, shiny, and beautiful. You wouldn't get to admire them if they were under a crust!
