FRUIT COBBLER

Here’s a fruit cobbler based on a recipe from my Aunt Gwen Lester Buff in South Carolina. This recipe is easy but delicious. It’s not overly sweet, and the crust is light and crisp.

My modifications: Whole-wheat flour and coconut palm sugar, and the addition of cinnamon and vanilla extract to the crust.

FRUIT COBBLER

1 cup sugar, divided

1 quart fresh fruit
(blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, sliced apples, or sliced peaches - or whatever you have)

1 stick butter
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 tblsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

2. Put 1/2 cup sugar over the fruit and gently stir.

3. Melt butter in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.

4. Mix flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and milk, stirring until well mixed. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Pour batter on top of butter - do not stir.

6. Spread fruit over batter but do not stir. (The batter will rise and cover most of the fruit.)

7. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.

8. Remove from oven and let cool off a bit.

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Looks delicious. Here in Canada we buy butter by the pound (or 2 cups)...so how much is a 'stick' of butter?

Thanks.

1 stick = 8 tablespoons?

1 stick =

1/4 pound, or 1/2 cup.

I use

The same basic recipe..


Melt 1 stick butter in a 9x13 Pyrex dish, Mix 1 cup sugar, 1 cup self rising flour, and 1 cup sugar,and 1 cup milk, pour over butter, then pour 1 quart sweetened fruit over the top evenly but dont stir, bake 350 until brown....this has been used in the South for 50 years or more, its in most of the old Church cookbooks.

This was exactly the original recipe from Aunt Gwen (except she didn't say "1 cup sugar" twice hahaha!) -- I had to "healthy it up a bit for Arlee and me with the whole-wheat flour and coconut palm sugar.
