Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 4 cups fresh or canned fruit
  • 1 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in an average size dish.
  2. Mix self-rising flour, milk, and sugar thoroughly.
  3. Pour the batter over the melted butter in the dish.
  4. Add the fruit on top of the batter without stirring.
  5. Bake at 375°F for 40 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips & Substitutions

For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar in the batter. You can substitute any fruit you have on hand, such as peaches, berries, or apples, making it versatile for different seasons. If using canned fruit, drain well to avoid excess moisture. This cobbler is great for using up leftover fruit from making Fruity Summer Soup.

Serving Suggestions

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for a delicious dessert. This cobbler pairs beautifully with coffee or tea for an afternoon snack. For a brunch option, consider serving alongside Cloud-Light Pancakes and fresh fruit for a delightful spread.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through, ensuring the topping stays crisp. Alternatively, you can microwave individual portions for a quick treat, but the texture may be softer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen fruit for this cobbler?

Yes, you can use frozen fruit! Just make sure to thaw and drain any excess juice before adding it to the batter. This helps prevent the cobbler from becoming too watery during baking.

What can I do if I don't have self-rising flour?

If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. This substitution will work perfectly for the cobbler.

How can I make this recipe gluten-free?

To make this cobbler gluten-free, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend instead of self-rising flour. Be sure to check that your baking powder is gluten-free as well. The recipe will still yield a delicious dessert without the gluten.
