Berry Cobbler

225 g SR flour
1/4 tsp mixed spice
150 g caster sugar
large pinch salt
250 ml milk
1/2 tsp real vanilla extract
50 g unsalted butter
675 g fresh or frozen berries

Large, shallow, metal baking tin

Preheat oven to 180 deg
Sift flour, spice, sugar and salt into a bowl. Gradually whisk in the milk and vanilla extract to give a thick batter. Leave to stand for 15 min.
Melt butter over gentle heat in a shallow, metal baking tin. Give the rested batter a quick stir, then pour the batter into the pan over the melted butter. Immediately scatter the berries over the batter and put the cobbler into the preheated oven to bake for about 55 min, or until the batter is puffed and set around the berries.

Remove from oven and serve warm with cream or custard.
