"Cuppa" Cobbler

So you are wondering....What is Cuppa Cobbler??? This is a recipe from my dear friend Loni, who got it from her Mom. I have made it from memory for so many years, this might not be the original recipe....lol!!! It is a supper simple recipe for a fast and yummy fruit cobbler, and I call it Cuppa Cobbler cause it uses one cup measurements. It is great with any fresh fruit, but canned fruit is great too. Top it with a scoop of ice cream and it is heaven in a bowl!!

1 stick of butter
1 cup of self rising flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
1 t vanilla
about 2-3 cups fresh or canned fruit
sprinkle of cinnamon

Melt the butter in a 11x7 or 8x8 baking dish. Mix together the flour, sugar, milk and vanilla. pour over the melted butter that is in the baking dish. Now arrange the fruit on top of the batter, sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake at 375 for about 30 minutes. The fruit will sink to the bottom, the cake will brown and pull away from the sides of the dish. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
