Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups fresh or frozen fruit (such as peaches, berries, or cherries)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the unsalted butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish and put it in the preheating oven until the butter is completely melted. This should take about 5 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven once melted.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, granulated sugar, and milk until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir; the batter should float on top of the butter.
Evenly distribute the fruit over the batter. The fruit will sink slightly as it bakes, creating a layered effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
