Mamma's Shortcake Topping

Mamma called this shortcake, but I expect that it's more a cobbler since it's baked on top of fruit.





List of Ingredients



• 1 cup self-rising flour
  
• 1 tablespoon sugar
  
• 3 tablespoons shortening [butter?]
  
• 1/2 cup milk
  






Instructions



1. Mix topping [ingredients together] and drop by spoonfuls over fruit.
   
2. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Serve warm.
   






Final Comments


Serves 6.

I would think that any fruit would do. Since there are no quantities given for the fruit, I expect the amount doesn't matter much. I'd start with about 4 cups of cut up fruit. I always like more fruit than many recipes suggest since I think more rather than less is healthier.
