Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Melt butter or margarine in an 8-inch square casserole dish.
- In a bowl, stir together flour, sugar, and milk until just blended.
- Pour the batter carefully over the melted butter in the dish without stirring.
- Spoon the sweetened fruit over the batter evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Serve warm with whipped topping or vanilla ice cream.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter or sprinkling cinnamon over the fruit. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. For a different twist, try using mixed berries or apples for a variation akin to Apple Cinnamon Cobbler.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delightful cobbler warm, topped with whipped topping or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. It pairs beautifully with Chewy Macaroons or can be enjoyed alongside a cup of coffee for a sweet breakfast. For an extra touch, drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. This helps maintain the cobbler’s texture and prevents it from becoming soggy in the microwave.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen fruit, but let it thaw and drain excess liquid to prevent a soggy batter. This will help maintain the cobbler's texture and ensure it bakes evenly. Adjust the sweetening based on the fruit's natural sweetness.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make this cobbler gluten-free, substitute self-rising flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend that already contains xanthan gum. Ensure all other ingredients, like the butter and sugar, are also gluten-free.
Can I double the recipe for a larger gathering?
Absolutely! To double the recipe, simply use a larger baking dish, such as a 9x13 inch pan, and increase baking time slightly. Keep an eye on it; it may take an additional 5-10 minutes to bake through but should remain golden and bubbly.
