YaYa’s One Cup Cobbler
Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1 stick 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups fruit peaches, berries, or whatever you have on hand work great
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place butter in a 9×9 baking dish and let it melt in the oven.
- In separate bowl, mix flour, sugar, and milk until combined (don’t overmix).
- Once the butter is melted, pour the batter into the dish without stirring.
- Spoon the fruit evenly over the top, do not stir.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling.
- Delicious served warm with vanilla ice cream
Yaya’s Tips for Success
- To make this cobbler turn out just right, be sure your butter is sizzling hot before adding the batter. That’s what helps the crust get those deliciously crisp edges.
- Don’t stir once you add the batter and fruit—just trust the process! The batter will rise up beautifully around the fruit as it bakes.
- If your fruit is particularly juicy (like frozen berries), you can lightly toss it with a teaspoon of flour to help it set up better.
- Make sure your flour is self-rising—plain flour won’t give the cobbler its lovely lift unless you add baking powder and salt.
Yaya’s Customization Ideas
This cobbler recipe is like a blank canvas for seasonal inspiration.
- Try it with chopped apples and a sprinkle of cinnamon for a fall version, or mix blueberries and strawberries in the summertime.
- If you’re feeding a crowd, double the recipe and bake it in a 9×13-inch dish.
- Want to make it extra decadent? Stir a handful of white chocolate chips into the batter, or sprinkle some coarse sugar over the top for a crackly finish.
