Ingredients:
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1/2 cup Crisco shortening
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup oleo (margarine)
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups sugar
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 450°F (230°C). This ensures that your cobbler bakes to perfection.
-
Prepare Pan: In a 9 x 11″ baking pan, melt the oleo (margarine) until it forms a smooth layer at the bottom. This step adds a delicious buttery flavor to your cobbler.
-
Prepare Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour with the Crisco shortening. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to cut the shortening into the flour until it resembles coarse meal.
-
Add Milk: Gradually pour in the milk, stirring until a soft ball of dough forms. Depending on the consistency, you may need to adjust the amount of milk slightly.
-
Roll Out Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick. This will serve as the base for your cobbler.
-
Prepare Fruit: Spread your chosen fruit(s) evenly over the dough. For a classic flavor combination, consider using fresh or canned pears and sprinkling them with a dash of cinnamon for warmth.
-
Roll Up: Carefully roll the dough and fruit mixture, similar to how you would roll a jellyroll. This creates beautiful swirls of fruit within the cobbler.
-
Slice and Arrange: With a sharp knife, cut the rolled dough into 1-inch slices. Arrange these slices neatly in the prepared baking pan.
-
Prepare Syrup: In a saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely.
-
Pour Over Cobbler: Once the sugar-water mixture reaches a boil and the sugar has dissolved, pour it evenly over the arranged fruit slices in the baking pan. This sweet syrup will infuse the cobbler with irresistible flavor as it bakes.
-
Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown and bubbly.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. This dessert pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
