Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.

Top with cobbler crust (see below for directions).
Bake for 45-50 minutes until crust is a golden brown. Check occasionally because baking times may vary.

Cobbler Crust
In medium bowl stir together flour, sugar and salt.
In a separate small bowl whisk together milk and egg yolk.
Combine dry and wet ingredients together, then use a fork or a pastry cutter to blend in room temperature butter. Dough will be crumbly.
Either sprinkle crumbled dough over cobbler or knead dough until it forms together and roll out to cut with a cookie cutter and add to the cobbler.
