Pour in 3/4 cup of whole milk. Knead gently for 1 minute or so until well blended. Pat or roll out dough into 1/2 inch thickness and fit over top of fruit. Prick with a fork for steam to escape. Brush top of dough with either an egg mixed with a little water or milk for browning. Optional: Lightly sprinkle top of dough with a cinnamon/sugar combination. Serve warm with ice cream or a whipped topping.
