Grammy's Cobbler

Our children know that it is only worth having peaches from the farmer's market or a store that features local, seasonal produce. Although this recipe is not particularly healthy, it is worth including for a few reasons. It is a family favorite of my husband's grandmother, and we make a version of it each summer on our family trip. Also, I am not a baker, and this is one of the easiest, most impressive desserts you will ever do for a crowd. During peach season we often treat just our family. I've tried healther versions with agave nectar and wheat flour but haven't developed a good substitute (YET)!

Burton's Grammy's Cobbler (Serves 6)

Ingridients
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup milk
1 stick butter or margarine, melted
2 1/2 cups berries or other fresh fruit (works best with blueberries, blackberries, peaches, or a mix)

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a regular baking dish (2 QT) , mix dry ingredients, add milk and stir, pour melted butter over, put berries on top. Bake until golden brown on top, 40-60 minutes. I double recipe if for more than six people and then I cook for 1:15-30 minutes. Serve with ice cream, cream or "just for family" I just pour a little milk on each serving.

Warmed with a little milk or cream, this makes for an awesome breakfast treat!
