1 and 1/4 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup milk

 

3 cups fresh fruit of your choice

(If using peaches or apples, peel and slice thinly, as for a pie. If using large berries like strawberries, wash, trim off stems and cut in half lengthwise. If you are making apple cobbler add some cinnamon to the apples if desired.)

 

TOPPING INGREDIENTS:

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup sugar

Beat 1/4 cup softened butter at medium speed with an electric mixer.

Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar, beating well.

Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing well.

Cut in 1/4 cup chilled butter with a pastry blender until crumbly.

Sprinkle over fruit.

 

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

 

*If the topping is not golden enough...Broil it for 1 to 2 minutes...That's what I did...WATCH VERY CLOSELY as it will burn quickly!

 

Serve warm with ice cream or sweetened whipped cream.
