Ingredients  

  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ⅔ cup milk (use 3/4 cup if making blueberry cobbler)

Fruit Options:

Canned Peaches:

  • 1 large can peaches, in juice (4 cups, partially drained)

or Fresh Peaches:

  • 4 cups fresh peaches (peeled & sliced - about 5 peaches)
  • ¾ cup white sugar (more or less to taste)

or Frozen Blueberries:

  • 4 cups frozen blueberries (thawed)
  • ⅓ cup white sugar (if the blueberries are super sweet, you might not need quite as much)

Instructions: 

Fruit:

  • If using frozen blueberries, heat them up a little so they aren't completely frozen then mix the 1/3 cup of sugar with them (or as much as they need so they won't be sour). Set aside while preparing the batter.
    *I increased the milk from 2/3 cup to 3/4 cup when I made these with frozen blueberries to make up for the lack of juice, but if the thawed blueberries make quite a bit of juice, you might not need to increase the milk.
  • If using fresh peaches, peel and slice 4 cups worth - about 5 peaches. Combine with about 3/4 sugar (or as much as they need so they are sweet). Set aside while preparing the batter.
  • Canned peaches: You'll use the whole can - juice and all.

Batter:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°.
    Slice the butter and melt it in a 9x13 pan while the oven is preheating. Remove when it starts to bubble. *The butter can burn pretty quickly, so keep an eye on it.
  • In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and milk.

Assembly:

  • Pour the batter evenly into the melted, bubbling butter then pour the fruit and juice over the mixture.
  • Bake until brown - about 30 minutes.

Notes:

Make Ahead: You can make this ahead of time and reheat it, but it's better by far fresh from the oven.
Variations: You could use different types of fruit - just adjust the liquid and sugar accordingly.
