Method

Put the blueberries in a microwaveproof mug and stir in the lemon juice. In another microwave-proof mug, microwave the butter on low to melt. Mix in the syrup or honey, then the flour, until smooth. Stir in the milk.
Spoon the cobbler mix on top of the berries, then scatter with the almonds. Microwave on medium for 3 mins, until puffed up. Leave to cool for 2 mins, then top with the ice cream.

Cook's tip: Cover your microwave plate with a sheet of kitchen paper to catch any spills, as the blueberries will release some juice as they cook.
