Simple Fruit Cobbler

This cobbler is so easy to whip up and using frozen berries with canned peaches makes it even easier! Cooking times vary so give yourself plenty of time- since after 50 min you may still have some gooey cobbler parts. My husband and I can often eat the 8 by 8 pan ourselves so double the recipe if you doubt your self control:)Mine is often bubbly and messy looking but with a dallop of whipping cream and one bite no one cares what it looks like.

INGREDIENTS

4 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
2 cups of sliced fresh fruit such as peaches, whole blueberries, strawberries, raspberries or blackberries, OR a 12-ounce package of frozen berries and a can of sliced peaches, drained
1 tablespoon sugar

DIRECTIONS

Pre heat oven to 350 degrees.

Put butter in an 8-inch square or 9-inch round pan; set in oven to melt. When butter has melted, remove pan from oven.

Meanwhile, whisk flour, 3/4 cup of sugar, baking powder and salt in small bowl. Add milk; whisk to form a smooth batter. Pour batter into pan, then scatter fruit over batter. Sprinkle with remaining 1 Tb. of sugar.

Bake until batter browns and fruit bubbles, 50 to 60 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a small scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
