I made this for the first time a couple of days ago. It’s not the cobbler I grew up with, but it’s very good and EASY.
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup all-purpose flour (3.75 oz)
3/4 cup sugar (5.5 oz), plus 1 tablespoon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon table salt
3/4 cup milk
2 cups fruit or berries, sliced (not sweetened or thickened)
1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Put butter in 8-inch square or 9-inch round pan; set in oven to melt.
2. Whisk flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt in small bowl. Add milk; whisk until just incorporated into dry ingredients. When butter has melted, remove pan from oven. Pour batter into pan, without stirring it into butter, then arrange fruit over batter. Sprinkle with remaining tablespoon sugar. Bake until batter browns, about 40 to 50 minutes.
