Mary Starr - Cherry, Peach, Or Blackberry Cobbler Recipe

Blackberry Cobbler
Place 1 stick margarine or butter in baking dish. Place dish in 350 degree oven. While butter melts, prepare batter.

Sift together in bowl:

1 Cup White Lily Plain All-Purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt          3/4 cup sugar

Add and Beat Well:
3/4 cup milk. Pour batter over margarine; spoon drained fruit of choice over batter. Pour juice from fruit over all.

Sprinkle on top:1/4 cup sugar

Bake at 350 about 45 minutes. Serve with whipped cream or plain. Crust will rise to top.

Note: I used 4 cups fruit and juice. If fresh fruit is used, crushing and sweetening to taste will provide enough juice.
