Fruit Cobbler

4 to 6 cups blueberries or other fruit, washed and well dried, peeled and sliced as necessary
2 Tbs flour
1 cup sugar, or to taste
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into bits, plus some for the pan
1 /2 cup all-purpose flour
1 /2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch salt
1 egg
1 /2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sprinkle of brown sugar

1. Heat the oven to 375°F. Toss the fruit with half the sugar and spread it in a lightly greased 8-inch square or 9-inch round baking pan.
2. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a food processor and pulse once or twice. Add the butter and process for 10 seconds, until the mixture is well blended. By hand, beat in the egg and vanilla.
3. Drop this mixture onto the fruit by tablespoon-fuls; do not spread it out. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake until golden yellow and just starting to brown, 35 to 45 minutes. Serve immediately.
