Ranchwoman’s Cobbler

• 2 cups Flour
• 2 cups Sugar
• 1 tsp. Salt
• 3 tsp. Baking Powder
• Water for batter
• 1 gallon Fruit, cherries are preferred but any fruit will do
• Lemon juice and sugar to taste

     In a large cobbler pan or medium Dutch oven, stir all dry ingredients.  Add enough water to make a thick batter.  Spread evenly.  Drain juice from the fruit and add a little salt, lemon juice and sugar to make juice taste good.  Spread fruit on the batter and pour juice over it.  Bake at 350^F for 1 hour.

     If you use a Dutch oven and cook outdoors, live coals are put on the lid until the cobbler begins to puff up and gets a little brown.  Take coals off the lid and continue cooking slowly.
