Mango and Chiku Cobbler

Fun are the evenings, when friends get together with ingredients scraped out from their pantry, to bake something easy, supremely easy! Fellow food enthusiast and my friend from university, Aayoti and I had a middle of the week rendezvous because I had to try out her 'Mango and Chiku Cobbler'. Nervous until the oven's timer shut down, Aayoti paced the room hoping that her dessert turns out to be exactly how she wanted it. Lo and behold, out came this absolutely decadent dessert that did not survive half an hour. Guest blogger for the day was delighted and I have to agree that this was one of the easiest recipes I have come across, in a while! Gorgeous, innit? :D 

Ingredients

1) 1 1/4 cup Flour
2) 50 gms Butter
3) 1 cup Milk
4) 1 tbsp Baking powder
5) 1 tsp Vanilla essence
6) 1/2 cup Castor Sugar
7) A cup of Mango and Sapodilla(Chiku/Sabeda) pieces. One can use any other juicy fruit! (Berries are perfect. Peach cobblers are very popular!)

Recipe

1) Melt the butter in the baking tray, directly. Do not use the butter to grease the pan.
2) In a bowl, bring all the ingredients together(except for the fruits) and mix well. Pour it on top of the melted butter bed. Do not stir or mix.
3) Carefully place the fruits on top of the mixture, already introduced into the baking dish. None of the layers should be mixed together.
4) Bake in a preheated oven(180 C) for 50 mins. Serve hot with a side of Vanilla ice cream. Drizzle the ice cream with honey. The honey complements the flavor of the Chiku, wonderfully! :D
