Peach-Blueberry Cobbler Serves 6-8 1 stick butter 1-Âź cup sugar, divided 1 cup self-rising flour 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 cup milk 3 medium peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced 1 cup fresh blueberries To honor the beauty and sweetness of summer produce, I like to showcase them in a cobbler.

This recipe is easy. In fact, I'll even go so far as to say it's fail-proof.

The secret is in the self-rising flour.

It's a must.

Interchange the fruit; the cobbler is happily adaptable.

Melt butter in a microwavable bowl. Pour 1 cup of the sugar, the self-rising flour, and the cinnamon into a mixing bowl. Whisk well to mix dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, mix in the milk. Stir until just combined. Then, add the melted butter and stir it all together well.

Butter a baking dish. (I suggest using an 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 baking dish for a thicker cobbler.)

Mix the peaches and blueberries in a bowl.

Pour the batter into the baking dish.

Arrange the fruit on top of the batter and sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar.

Bake at 350 for one hour or until golden and bubbly. If desired, sprinkle an additional teaspoon of sugar over the cobbler 10 minutes before it’s do
