Ingredients 7 ingredients

  1. ½ cup (1 stick) butter
  2. Salt (optional; add only if butter is unsalted)
  3. 1 tsp baking powder
  4. 1 cup self-raising flour
  5. 1 cup milk
  6. 1 cup white granulated sugar
  7. 1 cup fresh fruit (e.g. peaches, blackberries, cherries, etc.)

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place the butter in a deep 9½ x 12-inch baking dish. Put dish in oven to melt butter while preparing other ingredients. If butter is unsalted, add a touch of salt to the pan as well.
  3. Add flour and sugar to a bowl and sift together lightly. Create a well in the center of the mixture, and pour the milk into the well. Mix together with a wire whisk until smooth.
  4. Remove pan from oven. Pour batter into dish on top of melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon the fresh fruit out evenly across the top, but again, do not stir.
  5. Place cobbler in oven and bake uncovered until golden brown.
