Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt butter in a baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix sugar, self-rising flour, and milk until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the baking dish containing melted butter without stirring.
- Spoon the sweetened fruit into the mixture on top.
- Bake for 45 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try using browned butter instead of melted butter. You can substitute the self-rising flour with all-purpose flour and add 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and a pinch of salt. Fresh fruit can also be used in place of sweetened fruit for a healthier option. Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the fruit used.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful dessert. It pairs beautifully with Rita'S Crunchy Vegetable Casserole for a comforting meal. For a more indulgent treat, drizzle with caramel sauce or serve alongside fresh berries.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, but the oven method helps retain the cobbler's texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen fruit, but make sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid to prevent the batter from becoming too watery. You might need to adjust the baking time slightly, as frozen fruit can take longer to cook through.
What if I don't have self-rising flour?
If you don't have self-rising flour, you can easily make your own by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. This substitution will work perfectly for this recipe.
Can I add spices or flavorings to the batter?
Absolutely! Adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon can enhance the flavor of the cobbler. Feel free to experiment with other spices like nutmeg or cardamom for a unique twist.
