GRANNY'S "CUPPA" COBBLER 
2 cups sliced peaches (or other fruit)
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
1 cup butter

The name is clearly derived from the ingredient amounts - most of us gals raised in the south were raised on this stuff as prepared by Granny. We also grew up using blackberries instead, as they grew on vines along her garden.

Melt butter. Add sugar, milk and flour. Mix until ingredients are combined (lumpy is good). Pour mixture into a baking dish and add sliced peaches.

Fight the urge to mix the peaches with the batter - you don't need to mix it!!

Bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes, or until bubbly and brown.

Serve with ice cream if desired.

I learned this recipe 45 years ago from a woman in very rural Oklahoma. She had a large family and this was one of the desserts she cooked often. It is delicious. I am making a fresh blackberry one as I type. Happy cooking. P.S. I only use one stick of butter.

So easy and so good! As the previous reviewer suggested, I also use one stick, not one cup, of butter.

And as Truvey, Dolly Parton's character in "Steel Magnolias" said, serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to "cut the sweetness." ;)

That is exactly the way my grandmother made hers after we kids collected the wild blackberries. One item that isn't talked about is using the right size pan. I inherited my grandmother's pan through my aunt and wouldn't trade it for the world. This is a true southern cobbler.
