Blueberry Cobbler

You can use your favorite berries either fresh for frozen for this easy to do dessert. You can also try with other fruits like mangoes, bananas and diced apples. The addition of yoghurt to the topping makes it super soft with a deliciously crisp crust.  Sometimes, the blueberries may burst with juice during baking and some juice may bubble over.  Therefore, if you want to protect your oven from having drippings of blueberry juice, you should place a pan or a dish to catch any juice that may ooze out. Also, it is advisable to taste the blueberries first.  If they are very sweet, omit the 30g of sugar.
