Basic Cobbler

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Place the butter in a 9½" x 12" deep baking dish. Put dish in oven to melt butter while preparing other ingredients. If butter is unsalted, add a touch of salt to the pan as well.

Add flour and sugar to a bowl and sift together lightly. Create a 'well' in the center of the mixture and to this pour in the milk. Mix together with a wire whisk until smooth.

Remove pan from oven. Pour batter into dish on top of melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon the fresh fruit out evenly across the top, but again, do not stir.

Place cobbler in oven and bake uncovered until golden brown.
