Mango Cobbler

- 1/4 c margarine or butter (I use butter)

- 1 c white sugar

- 1 c all purpose flour

- 2 tsp baking powder

- 1/8 tsp salt

- 1/2 c milk

- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- 2 can(s) mangoes or peach

- 1 c juice of the canned fruit

Directions

1. Cream together softened butter and sugar.

2. Sift flour, baking powder and salt.

3. Add alternately dry ingredients with milk and vanilla extract. Beat well until smooth. Pour batter into 9x9 inch cake pan.

4. Place the mangoes over batter. Pour juice.

5. Bake at 375 F for 45 minutes or until tester comes out clean. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

6. Note: For fresh mangoes - Peel skin of 4 mangoes (halved) and simmer for a few minutes with 1 cup water and 1/4 cup sugar. Use its liquid for juice; fresh mangoes that were simmered are juicier than the canned ones. Canned peaches are also great for this recipe. I prefer to use fresh mango, though - or did when I lived in Hawaii and just had to run to the yard to get them!
