Ingredients:  
1/2 cup milk
1 cup complete pancake mix (we use Krusteaz)
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp melted butter
2 cups berries or peaches, fresh or frozen or canned
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup water (if using canned fruit, use juice from fruit)

Directions:
Directions:
Mix together the fruit, 3/4 cup sugar (if berries are very tart, use 1 cup sugar) and water and set aside. If sweetened canned fruit is used, omit sugar and use juice in place of water.

Generously butter an 8" x 8" glass baking dish. Mix together the milk, pancake mix, 1/2 cup sugar and melted butter. Pour into pan. Pour fruit mixture over top of batter. Bake in a 375º oven for 45 minutes. Crust will rise to the top and will be quite brown and have no doughy areas showing when done. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

You can double this recipe and use a 9" x 13" baking dish, increase baking time to 50 minutes.

Personal Notes:
This recipe was given to me by my husband's Aunt Grace Kuhnly, who lived down the street from us when we first moved to Quincy after getting out of the Air Force in 1978. We would get together with Aunt Grace and her husband Uncle Fred and play pinochle 2-3 times a week, and we always had to have dessert, either pie or cobbler. Uncle Fred always said "I only like 2 kinds of pie --- hot and cold."

Whenever anyone asks for the recipe for this delicious cobbler, they are really surprised and skeptical about using pancake mix for the cobbler. Surprisingly, it results in a delicious cobbler crust.
