Tips for making Gooey Sourdough Blueberry Cobbler:

1. Fresh Blueberries: Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the best flavor and texture in your cobbler. If fresh aren't available, frozen blueberries can be used.

2. Sourdough Discard: Incorporate sourdough discard into the cobbler filling for a tangy depth of flavor. Ensure the discard is at room temperature before adding it to the recipe.

3. Cornstarch for Thickening: Mix the blueberries with cornstarch to help thicken the filling and create that gooey consistency.

4. Sugar Adjustment: Adjust the amount of sugar in the filling according to the sweetness of the blueberries and your personal preference.

5. Cobbler Topping: Prepare a simple cobbler topping using flour, sugar, butter, and baking powder. For extra richness, consider adding a splash of buttermilk.

6. Even Distribution: Spread the cobbler topping evenly over the blueberry filling to ensure it bakes evenly.

7. Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the cobbler until the topping is golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbling and thickened.

8. Let it Cool Slightly: Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the filling set slightly.

9. Serve with Vanilla Ice Cream: Enhance the dessert experience by serving the warm cobbler with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream. The contrast of warm and cold is irresistible.

10. Enjoy Fresh: Enjoy the gooey sourdough blueberry cobbler and vanilla ice cream combination immediately for the best taste and texture.
