This recipe comes from my great aunt Eva who named it thusly. Or perhaps she got it from her mother, my great grandma, who named it thusly? Either way, who am I to argue? It is, indeed, one of the easiest desserts you’ll ever make.
It is also from an era when food wasn’t asked to look pretty for the camera.
Obviously.
Gather together:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 stick butter
- 1 cup milk
- 3 cups fruit (cut up; don’t drain)
And then:
- Combine sugar, flour, baking powder and salt; cut in butter like you’re making biscuits, or pulse in a food processor, then stir in milk till well combined
- Pour batter into a buttered cast iron skillet or baking dish and top with fruit and its juice
- Bake at 350F for 45 minutes; sprinkle sugar on top for the last few minutes of baking
See? SEE? How crazy easy is that? And at the end you get this?
No brainer.
Hey! Who are you callin’ lazy? That’s my (grandmother’s) recipe.
The only difference is that I melt the butter in the dish first and then pour the batter on top of that.
Add this to my list of foods I could every.single.day. Looks great!
Oh, I don’t like the title of this dish (haha), but I love the sound of this dessert. Looks fantastic!

My mom made this when she was short on time. I love it and it’s good with pretty much any fruit.
