Fruit Cobbler

This is a great recipe for cobbler from Nelma Irvine...Grandma Irvine. It is a different way to make the cobbler. You have to have faith. It really does work!


Fruit Cobbler

1 cube of butter

1 c. flour
3/4 c. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 c. milk

2 c. fresh fruit (peaches, strawberry rhubarb, plums, berries)
1 c. sugar

Melt the butter in a 8x8 (or 9x9) baking pan in the oven at 375 degrees. 

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon together. Add milk and stir together well. (This can be blended to get it well mixed. That's how Grandma taught me to make it.)

Stir the fruit and the sugar together. Set aside.

Pour batter over the hot melted butter. DO NOT STIR! Spoon the sugared fruit over the batter. Bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour. 

Put a cookie sheet under the baking pan, since this has a tendancy to overflow.

If you double the recipe, use a 11x15 baking pan because a 9x13 is just too small. The cobbler will overflow the pan.
