Ingredients
-
1 stick butter or margarine (1/2 cup)
-
1 cup milk
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
Dash of salt
-
1 quart sweetened fruit (such as peaches, cherries, or blackberries)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place butter or margarine in a 9×13-inch baking dish and melt in the oven.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Stir in milk until a smooth batter forms.
-
Once butter is melted, pour the batter evenly over the butter in the baking dish—do not stir.
-
Spoon sweetened fruit (with juices) evenly over the batter. Do not mix.
-
Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and cooked through.
-
Let cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
-
Use canned fruit, frozen fruit (thawed), or fresh fruit that’s been sweetened to taste.
-
Try with mixed berries or apples for seasonal variations.
-
Batter will rise up and around the fruit during baking—this is what gives it that “pie-like” cobbler effect.
