Mama'S Fruit Cobbler - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup sugar, adjust to your taste
2 tablespoons flour
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup margarine, melted
5 slices white bread, crusts removed and cut into strips
3 cups fruit, approx, SEE NOTE
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon (optional) or 1 1/2 teaspoons cardamom (optional)

Preparation

Mix first 4 ingredients together and set aside.
Place drained fruit in a buttered 8x8 pan and top with bread strips.
Pour sugar mixture over bread and fruit and sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until golden brown.
Great topped with ice cream or whipped cream on top.
Note: I dont usually measure the fruit, I just fill the bottom of the pan. Frozen fruit that has been partially defrosted works great as does soft fresh fruit- harder fruits such as apples or pears should be precooked until softened for best results. Drained canned fruit works great for this too. One large can (29 oz) is a perfect amount.
