Creeping Cobbler Recipe

Creeping Cobbler--Raspberry

This is called Creeping Cobbler because of the way the cobbler "creeps" over the berries as it bakes.  This is a super easy and flexible recipe that was given to me by my best friend's mother, Jackie Jones, years ago.  I use it every summer with whatever berries I have on hand and it is a delicious dessert, especially when it is served with ice cream.  You could also used sliced peaches instead of berries.  Enjoy!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a 9"x13" pan, melt:
1/2 stick (4 Tbs.) butter
Mix together by hand in a separate bowl:
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
Add in:
3/4 cups milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Mix until blended together.  Spoon batter over melted butter in pan.  Sprinkle over the top:
3 cups berries, washed, large berries sliced, (optional- toss berries with 1/2 cup sugar before adding)
Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown on top.  Let cool a bit before serving.  Yum!
