• 6 add the milk and stir to make a thick batter.
• 7 spoon batter the fruit.

• 10 serve with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.

• 12 if you don't have a cast-iron skillet, you can use an ovenproof dish. you can heat the butter and fruit in a skillet and then scrape them into a baking dish to continue.
• 13 the cobbler is best served warm directly from the pan. if you have leftovers or plan to keep for a while, transfer to a nonreactive container.
