1. Make the dough first so that it can rest while you do the other parts of the recipe. Sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add the 1/2 cup butter, and mix to a crumb stage. In a separate bowl, beat the egg with the milk, and add it to the flour mixture. Mix until a dough forms. Set aside. 2. Prepare the fruit. In a large bowl, mix the fruit with the 3 tablespoons of sugar and the 3 tablespoons of flour. Pour the fruit into a 8x8-inch baking dish, and dot here and there with the 2 tablespoons of butter, broken up. 3. Cover the fruit in the baking dish with the dough, and bake in a preheated 375-degrees F oven for about 25 minutes. Serve hot with ice cream. Makes one 8-inch x 8-inch cobbler.
