Cranberry Cobbler

got this recipe from my cousin janelle at christmas. mmm!

Cobbler:
3 c. biscuit baking mix
2 c. sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 c. milk
3 c. fresh cranberries

Mix baking mix, sugar, eggs and butter together. Blend in milk. Stir in cranberries lightly until evenly coated with batter. Pour into a greased and floured 9x13 baking pan. Bake at 350 for 50-55 min. Spoon hot butter sauce over warm cobbler. Serves 8-10.

Hot Butter Sauce:
2 c. sugar
1 c. butter
2 c. whipping cream
2 tsp. vanilla extract
Mix altogether in a deep saucepan over medium heat.Bring to a boil. Boil 5 min., stirring constantly.

Notes:
*I halved the butter sauce recipe and it was plenty. I also just poured about half the sauce over the cobbler and served the other half on the side, letting people add as they desired.
*Caleb insisted i follow the recipe the first time i made it. I still wish i had added some orange zest to the cobbler, and maybe some pecans. I'll also add more cranberries if i can ever bring myself to make this again. And probably less sugar.
*Growing up, my mom made that exact same sauce but we called it 'pancake syrup.' YUM. We never had mrs. butterworths. It wasn't til i was an adult that i realized it was actually a sauce intended to go over apple cake. And now here it shows up again in the cobbler!
