Peach cobbler

My mom's recipe:

For a 9" square pan.  Melt one stick of margarine in the pan in the oven (325F.)...or almost one stick.  After it's melted spoon over one regular-sized can of drained peaches.  Pour over the margarine and fruit a mixture made of 1 cup plain flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder,
1/8 teaspoon salt and around one cup of milk---less milk if you want the dough to be more stiff.  It ought to pour over the margarine and not be too sticky.  And note:  this doesn't require a mixer, but only a bowl and spoon. 

Bake at 325F. for around 25 minutes or so.  Notice that my measurements aren't exact, because it's just not necessary to be too picky.  I tripled this recipe tonight and put it in our largest aluminum baking pan which measures at around 13" long.  It baked forEVER! :)  For tripling the recipe I used 2 sticks of margarine and not 3 like you would if you measured exactly.  And I used just over 2 cups of sugar for tripling as well.  Adjust as you like.  It's a very friendly recipe!

Served in nifty old bowls with vanilla ice cream makes wonderful comfort food.  And no, there's no photo.  We ate it.  The cobbler, you know.
