Mommy’s Mango Cobbler

Ingredients

• Mangos:
• 8 mangoes – peeled, seeded, and sliced
• 2 cups water
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• Batter:
• 2 cups white sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Combine mangoes, water, and 1/2 cup white sugar in a saucepan over medium heat; simmer until sugar is dissolved, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain syrup from mangoes, reserving syrup.

Beat 2 cups sugar and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl until combined. Slowly mix flour mixture, alternating with milk, into creamed butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir vanilla extract into batter; pour into a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Arrange mangoes on top of the batter and pour 2 cups reserved syrup over mangoes.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cobbler comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
