Old fashioned fruit cobbler while truly the perfect dessert for pot roast or cold chicken and potato salad. It is wonderfully soothing and comforting also when you have had a spicy meal. Choose any fruit or any mixture of fruit for your recipe. Serve warm or room temperature. I like this best when it first comes out of the oven. It's hard to wait for the fruit to cool just enough to eat. Great the next day for breakfast too. The best thing about homemade fruit cobbler's is that they are not glutinous.

My favorite fruit is the blackberry, but they are hard to come by and when found can be quite pricey. Still for me there is nothing like blackberry cobbler. My mother used to make cobbler's from the wild blackberry's my girlfriend and I used to pick in summer.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
2 cups self-rising flour
2 cups white sugar
2 cups milk
3 1/2 cups fruit*

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Once oven temperature is reached melt butter in a 9x13 inch baking pan.

In a medium bowl stir together the flour, sugar and milk; batter will be slightly lumpy. Pour mixture on top of melted butter in baking pan. Do not mix butter and mixture together. Drop fruit into batter. Stir and pour into buttered baking pan. Use less fruit if you want more crust to the cobbler. Bake cobbler in preheated oven for one hour or until golden brown. Good with a scoop of ice cream.
