Easy Batter Fruit Cobbler

4 Tablespoons butter
3/4 Cup all-purpose flour
3/4 Cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 Cup milk
2 Cups sliced strawberries, blueberries, blackberries or peaches (I used peaches and I used a little more than 2 cups)
1 Tablespoon sugar

1) Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position, heat oven to 350 degrees F.

2) Put butter in 8-inch square or round pan; set in oven to melt. When butter has melted, remove pan from oven.

3) Whisk flour, 3/4 Cup sugar, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Add milk; whisk to form a smooth batter. Pour batter into pan, then scatter fruit over batter. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.

4) Bake until batter browns and fruit bubbles, 50-60 minutes. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a small scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
