Granny's Cobbler

Sometimes, the simplest thing is the best thing. In the case of cobbler, that's definitely true. My Granny's cobbler recipe is so simple that I have it in my head. Which, if you're a mom, have a husband, a job, a business, or a blog, you have a pretty good idea of how hard it is to store much of anything in there. But it's that simple. And you can use whatever fruit you like. Our favorite is peach, but berries (blackberries, raspberries, strawberries) work great too.

With a ton of these beautiful babies around, I'm whipping up a cobbler with half strawberries, half rhubarb.

Try it for yourself and let me know what you think.

Granny’s Cobbler

1 stick butter

1 c flour

1 c sugar

¾ c milk

2 tsp baking powder

pinch of salt

2 c fruit (trimmed and/or sliced if needed), sweetened to taste

Melt butter in 8”x8” or 9”x9” pan. Mix together flour, sugar, milk, salt, baking powder, and milk until just combined. Pour into baking dish on top of melted butter. Spoon sweetened fruit evenly on top of batter. Bake at 350 for 45-55 minutes until golden brown.

Can be doubled in a 9"x12" pan. I only use one and a half sticks (3/4 cup) of butter when doubling this recipe. You can even use just one stick if you're worried about calories. But with all that fruit, this is practically salad, right? You may need to increase the  baking time by 5-10 minutes. Just keep an eye on it. 

Happy Summer!
