Easy Quick Cobbler Recipe

1 c. flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 c. white sugar

1/4 c. melted butter

3/4 c. milk

2 c. sliced fruit--I used blackberries.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Pour butter in 9X9 pan. In a bowl, mix all ingredients except fruit and pour over butter. Do not mix. Place fruit on top. Bake for about 45-60 minutes or until top is golden brown. 

The original recipe called for peaches. But almost any fruit--canned, fresh, or frozen works well. I used freeze dried blackberries from Thrive. Turned out so well that I had two helpings. Guess I'll have to work that off somewhere!
