A Better Quick Fruit Cobbler

 

The following is for a 12-inch oven. This recipe can be used for just about any fruit, fresh or canned. Modify the amount of liquid, spices, etc for best results with fresh fruits.

 

2 cans (29 ounce cans) fruit with half the juice (sliced peaches in heavy syrup is my favorite).

2 cups each of: flour, sugar, milk

4 tsp baking powder

2 dashes salt

1 cup (2 sticks) butter

½ cup cinnamon sugar (2 Tbls cinnamon, rest sugar)

 

Preheat oven to "hot". Combine the flour, sugar, milk, baking powder, and salt and mix to a smooth batter. Add the butter to the hot oven. When melted, pour the batter in, even distributed in the butter (but don't stir). Carefully add the peaches and half the juice that was in the two cans, but DO NOT STIR IT. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top of the peaches. Bake for a FULL 35 minutes, turning the pot twice ( it will look done far before it is done.) Let it cool 30 minutes before eating. Note: it is important to have the oven level to cook this dish.
