Family Recipe Friday - Granny's Easy Cobbler

Granny's Easy Cobbler

For those that remember Granny [Irene Caroline Banet Dreher: 1906-1989], you will recall what a great cook she was! This is a recipe she mailed to me as a newlywed in 1975. It works great with any fresh fruit you choose to add: apples, pears, peaches, berries. I have also used canned fruit [simply drain first], and pie filling when I had nothing else.

Serve this hot with vanilla ice-cream. Your family will love it!

1 cup all purpose flour

1 cup sugar

2 tsps baking powder

1 cup milk

1 stick – butter [half cup melted]

2 cups fruit of choice

Directions

1.    Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Melt butter in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.

2.    Blend together flour, baking powder, sugar, and milk.

3.    Pour batter in baking dish over the butter. Sprinkle fruit on top of the batter, do not stir. Bake for 1 hour or until golden brown.

Songs of the Past Sunday - Que Sera Sera

When I was a little girl, my mother used to sing this to me. I found it so comforting. It would dry my tears faster than anything else!  I used to sing it to my own children when they were little.

Today, I still find this song comforting!
