Cobbler

I have a group of guys at work that make sure the parking lot is shoveled and my office is kept nice and clean. They come running when I need help so to thank them I made a cobbler to enjoy with their coffee.

My Dad grew up in the South and one of his favorite desserts was cobbler, this one passed his test so I knew I had a winner. It made "my" favorite list because it's so easy.

Cobbler

1/2 C Butter
1 C Milk~I used skim
1 C Sugar
1 C self rising Flour (or 1 C regular Flour, 1 1/2 t Baking Powder and 1/2 t Salt)
3-4 C fruit or berries ~ I used one can of apple pie filling and 1 C frozen blueberries but you can use ANYTHING, it's all good.

Melt butter in 13x9 cake pan in a 375 oven. Keep an eye on it~about 4 minutes, you just want to melt it. Mix right in the pan the milk, flour (salt and baking powder if not using self rising) and sugar. Mix it up. I think the word is slurry, it's like a thick milk consistency. Pile your fruit on top..DO NOT STIR in. Bake for about 40 minutes or until lightly browned on top. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
Here's what you need.
Cut up your butter and melt while the oven is preheating.
Throw in everything except the fruit.
Here's the slurry you made. I just use a fork to mix it all up, make sure it's not clumpy.
Pile your fruit on top.
Ready to eat or bring to someone to say thanks:)
