Cobbler

This is a recipe that my sister-in-law would make all the time because it is a very easy, time saving option when you're craving cobbler.

1 C Flour
3/4 C Sugar
2 C Blueberries (Any fruit or pie filling can be used.)
1/8 t Salt
1 C Milk
1 t Cinnamon
2 t Baking powder
1/2 C Butter
1/2 t lemon peel (I just used a light spinkle of juice when I don't have lemons.)

Back 350 for 60 mins. Melt Butter in 8x8x2 pan. Mix flour, salt, powder, and sugar. Slowly add milk. Pour batter in pan over butter-DO NOT STIR. Add fruit. Spirnkle with cinnamon and peel (or juice).
