Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 package or can fruit

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a 2-quart baking dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
  3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients; pour milk into the well.
  4. Slowly mix the dry ingredients with the milk until smooth.
  5. Pour the batter into the melted butter in the baking dish.
  6. Add the fruit on top without stirring.
  7. Bake at 350°F for 30 to 40 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Tips & Substitutions

For a variation, consider using almond milk instead of regular milk for a nutty flavor. You can also substitute the fruit with seasonal options like fresh berries or peaches for a twist. If you want a richer taste, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. Make sure to not overmix; a few lumps are okay for a tender texture.

Serving Suggestions

Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent dessert. It pairs beautifully with Fullabull'S Coconut Sheath Cake for a delightful dessert spread at gatherings. You can also enjoy it as a sweet breakfast treat alongside coffee or tea.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or warm in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until heated through. This maintains the cobbler's texture without making it soggy.
