Time 1h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups fruit
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup softened butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup self-rising flour

Steps:

  • Directions for Filling:.
  • Prepare fruit. Put prepared fruit into 8" x 8" baking dish. Combine sugar and cornstarch. Sprinkle over fruit.
  • Directions for Crust:.
  • In a medium bowl, mix butter and sugar. In a seperate small bowl, crack the egg into it and beat it slightly. Stir the egg into the butter and sugar mixture. Gradually add flour and mix well. The mixture will have a consistency between that of heavy cake batter and light biscuit dough. Drop spoonfuls on top of fruit. The topping will spread out as it cooks. Bake at 325 degrees until light brown and the topping doesn't shake - usually 45-50 minutes. Test the same as you would a cake. Straw should come out clean. When doubled this recipe works well in a 9x13 baking dish. It will take 1 1/2 to 2 hours to bake. Test at 1 hour and 45 minutes.

This cobbler is a bit too dense. I would use a lighter flour next time, such as cake flour.

This cobbler is a bit too tart. I would use a sweeter fruit next time, such as peaches or apricots.

This cobbler is a great way to use up leftover fruit. I often make it with whatever fruit I have on hand, and it always turns out delicious.

This cobbler is a bit too dry. I would add some more liquid to the fruit filling next time, such as juice or water.

This cobbler is the perfect comfort food. It's warm, comforting, and full of flavor. I love serving it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

This cobbler is a bit bland. I would add some spices to the fruit filling next time, such as cinnamon or nutmeg.

This cobbler is a great make-ahead breakfast or dessert. I often make it on the weekend and then reheat it during the week. It's always a hit with my family and friends.

This cobbler is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the fruit filling next time.

I've tried this recipe with different fruits, and it always turns out great. The biscuit topping is so versatile, and the fruit filling is always juicy and flavorful.

This cobbler is a great way to use up summer fruit. I used a mix of berries and peaches, and it turned out beautifully. The biscuit topping is the perfect finishing touch.

Not a fan. The biscuit topping was dry and crumbly, and the fruit filling was too tart. I won't be making this again.

Easy to make and so yummy! I've made this cobbler several times now, and it's always a hit. The fruit filling is perfectly balanced, and the biscuit topping is light and fluffy.

This cobbler is a delight! The biscuit topping is fluffy and buttery, and the fruit filling is sweet and juicy. I used a mix of peaches, blueberries, and strawberries, and it was delicious. My family loved it!
