Peach or Pear Cobbler

When peaches and pears are in season, there is nothing as tasty as a cobbler made with fresh juicy peaches or pears. My family seems to like the pear cobbler better and if you have never tried a pear cobbler, you should :)

1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 tea. salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
3 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup butter
2 1/2 - 3 cups cups freshly sliced very ripe peaches or pears with the juice
cinnamon and sugar to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Sift flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix with 2 cups of the sugar; slowly stir in the milk to make the batter.
Melt butter in an 8 x 11 casserole dish in oven, remove from oven and pour 1/2 the batter over the melted butter. DO NOT STIR !
Mix peaches or pears with remaining 1 cup of sugar and carefully spoon over batter. DO NOT STIR!
Pour remaining batter over the peaches. DO NOT STIR!
Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
Bake on 350 for 1 hour or until done.
Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream:)
