Cherry Cobbler
While shopping in the fresh fruit and veggie aisle at Kroger's, I discovered the best looking cherries! I wasn't planning on a cherry cobbler for tonight's dinner. But guess what's in the oven! I hope the cobbler taste as good as the cherries looked! Here's my simple recipe for cherry cobbler. I just wished I had not forgotten the vanilla ice cream to go with the cobbler!
Cherry Cobbler
1 quart fresh cherries (pitted and halved)
1 stick margarine
1 cup self rising flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
Melt margarine in the bottom of a 9 inch corning ware baking dish. In a small bowl whisk flour, sugar, and milk until smooth. Pour batter into the baking dish on top of the margarine. Scatter cherries on top of the batter. Bake at 350 F for about 50 to 60 minutes. When done, cobbler will be brown and the fruit will be bubbly around the edges. Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
