Mom'S Cobbler - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 c. margarine
2 c. sugar
2 c. water
1 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/3 c. Crisco
1/3 c. milk
2 c. finely chopped pears or apples

Preparation

Heat oven to 350\u00b0; melt margarine in 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish.
In a saucepan, heat sugar and water until it is dissolved. Cut Crisco into flour until fine crumbles; add milk and stir with fork until dough leaves side of bowl.
Turn onto floured counter; make into a ball.
Flatten and roll out until 1/4-inch thick. Sprinkle with cinnamon; add pears or apples.
Roll up like a jelly roll.
Now slice up in circles about 15 of them.
Place in the buttered casserole.
Pour the sugar water over the dough.
(This looks like too much liquid, but the dough will absorb the liquid.) Bake about 50 minutes.
You can use dewberries, peaches or other fruit.
Serves 12 to 13.
