Mary Woods’ Fruit Cobbler

The Story

I didn’t have self rising flour so I added 1/4 tsp. of baking powder to all-purpose flour. The cobbler is good cold, too.

Ingredients

• 1 stick oleo (margarine)
• 1 cup self rising flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup sugar
• 4 cups fruit (cherries, peaches, berries or whatever you have)

Steps

1. Melt oleo in a 2 quart ovenproof dish or casserole in a 350 degree oven.
2. Mix flour, sugar and milk; pour over oleo (do not stir).
3. Spoon fruit with juice on top of batter (do not stir).
4. Bake till brown, about 1 hour.
5. Serve hot with ice cream or topping.

Notes

“It’s really good.”

Substitute: 1/4 teaspoon baking powder added to all-purpose flour if you have no self-rising flour.

Good cold, too.
