Description
Fruit Cobbler is an easy Southern dessert made with butter, self-rising flour, sugar, milk, and fruit. Serve it warm with vanilla ice cream for a comforting homemade treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter, 1 stick
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 can fruit in light syrup or juice, 15 ounces, undrained
- Optional: 1 to 2 tablespoons extra sugar or cinnamon sugar for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place butter in a 9 x 9-inch baking pan and set the pan in the oven while it preheats so the butter melts.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together self-rising flour, sugar, and milk until smooth.
- Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven once the butter melts.
- Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter, but do not stir.
- Spoon the undrained fruit over the batter, but do not stir.
- Sprinkle extra sugar or cinnamon sugar over the top, if desired.
- Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and the biscuit layer cooks through.
- Let the cobbler rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving warm with ice cream.
Notes
- If using frozen fruit, do not thaw it first.
- If using frozen or fresh fruit, use 1 1/2 to 2 cups.
- Double all ingredients for a 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Spread fruit over the top for more fruit in the edge pieces.
- If you do not have self-rising flour, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
