Here's my recipe which was given to me by my mom who got it from a friend when I was a teeny tiny kiddo, so I've been eating cobbler made this way my whole life..no wonder it's my favorite! And it's SUPER easy and it totally fills up the entire pan..win, win, win! You can add any fruit to the cobbler - peach, apple, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry, cherry or for a new twist - mix a couple of them together.
- melt a stick of butter in a 9x13 pan (put the butter in the pan and pop in the oven while it's preheating until the butter is melted..you can use less butter if you like..we just like butter around here!)
in mixing bowl add:
- 1-1/2 cups flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 6 tsp baking powder
- 2 cups milk (add milk to the dry topping mixture right before you pour over fruit - if you let it sit too long the baking powder and the milk together get restless)
- 2 cups drained fruit (if I'm using peaches or apples, I sprinkle with the fruit with cinnamon before adding the topping..Mmm)
- add the milk to the dry topping mixture and cream, then immediately pour over your fruit (it's tempting to add more than 2 cups of fruit and from experience..beware..if you do, don't add the entire amount of topping or it will spill over in the oven..been there, done that)
