Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt butter in a baking dish.
- Mix self-rising flour, sugar, and milk; pour into the melted butter in the baking dish.
- Spoon fruit of your choice into the batter throughout the baking dish.
- Do not stir after adding the fruit.
- Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter. You can substitute almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free version. If you want to add some spice, a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg can enhance the fruit's flavor. For a twist, try using cake mix instead of self-rising flour, which is similar to how it's done in Peggy'S Fruit Cobbler.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful contrast. This cobbler pairs beautifully with Mary'S Fruit Salad for a refreshing side. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside a light salad or savory dish.

Allow the cobbler to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. It can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for about a week. To reheat, place individual servings in the microwave for about 30 seconds or warm in an oven at 350°F until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?
Yes, frozen fruit works well in this recipe. Just make sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid to prevent the batter from becoming too watery. This can help maintain the texture of the cobbler.
What fruits work best for this cobbler?
You can use any fruit you like! Popular choices include peaches, blueberries, and blackberries. Each adds its own unique flavor. Experiment with combinations for a delightful twist on the classic recipe.
How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it towards the end of the baking time to avoid overcooking.
