Fruit cobbler for Keegan and Tracy

Fruit Cobbler

4 1/2 Cups Flour (1 1/2)

1 1/2 Cups Sugar (1/2)

6 Tsp. Baking Powder (2)

3/4 Tsp. Salt (1/4)

1/2 Almond Extract (1/4)

1 1/2 Cups Unsalted Butter, cold, cut into cubes (1/2)

3 Eggs (1)

1 1/2 Cup Milk (1/2)

Use numbers in parentheses for 8" x 8" pan or 9" pie plate. Full recipe fills 9" x 13" or 12"x 16"  pan.

Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.  Add almond extract.  In bowl of Cuisinart or with 2 knives, cut in butter until it is the size of peas.

Beat eggs and milk together.  Mix with dry ingredients until wet.

Fill 12" x 16" pan  or 9" pie plate with sliced fruit.  Add 3/4-cup sugar (1/4 cup), 3/4-cup flour (1/4 cup), mix all together and dot with 1/4 (2 Tbsp.) butter.

Pour topping over fruit mix.  Sprinkle with almond slices.

Bake at 350 degrees until crust is done.  It will take at least an hour, maybe 1 1/2 hours or 2 for the large pan. The smaller cobbler should take 50-55 minutes.

Serve with whipped cream or Vanilla ice cream.
