STRAWBERRY COBBLER

Recipe for fruit cobbler:

Start 375 degree oven.

Combine 2 cups berries,  1/4 cup flour, 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar.

Combine (in another bowl) 1 1/2 cup flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar.

(Vary sugar according to sweetness of fruit or personal taste. For strawberries or blueberries I use less sugar, for blackberries more.)

In 2 cup measure, whisk together 3/4 cup milk and 1/4 cup vegetable oil. (I roll the whisk back and forth rapidly between my palms.)  Combine with flour mixture to make batter.

In greased baking dish place half of fruit mixture, then dribble or drop half of the batter on, and spread it if possible, to roughly cover the fruit.  Repeat with remaining fruit and batter.  This ensures that you don't just have a bottom layer of fruit and a dry layer of cake on top.  I sprinkled a little sugar on the top of this to make a kind of crunchy glaze.

Bake 35 to 40 minutes.

You need to catch Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance for one reason and one reason only. To see Christopher Lambert with his face inscribed with all the names of the stars of F Troop.

Plenty of psychotronic action to keep you entertained until then.
