Fruit Cobbler - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 c. butter or margarine
2 c. sugar
2 c. water
1 1/2 c. sifted self-rising flour
1/2 c. shortening
1/3 c. milk
2 c. finely chopped fruit
1 tsp. cinnamon

Preparation

Heat oven to 350\u00b0.
Heat the butter in a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan.
In a saucepan, heat sugar and water until sugar melts. Cut shortening into flour until particles are like fine crumbs. Add milk and stir with a fork only until dough leaves the sides of the bowl. Turn out onto slightly floured board and knead until smooth.
Roll out dough into a large rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
Sprinkle cinnamon over and spread fruit evenly over the dough. Roll up like a jelly roll. Dampen the edge of dough with a little water to seal.
Slice lengthwise into about 16 slices, 1/2-inch thick.
Place in a pan with melted butter.
Pour the sugar syrup carefully around the rolls.
Bake for 55 to 60 minutes.
Makes 8 servings.
