peach cobbler

My husband and I are both from the south, so that means there are some foods, like grits and peach cobbler, that hold a special place in our hearts.  He is particularly fond of peaches and we had plenty of canned and jarred, so I made a peach cobbler recently.

I had tried different recipes in the past and the one I used tonight so far surpasses the others.  It was simple and did what the directions said it would do – that the batter would rise to the top and browned nicely.  It also didn’t seem to take as long to bake as a previous recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cups fresh peaches, pitted and sliced
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cups water

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly butter a 9×9 inch glass baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and 1/2 cup sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix flour, salt and baking powder. Add to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk.
  4. Spread mixture evenly into baking dish .
  5. If using canned peaches, drain thoroughly, reserving the juice. Spoon fruit over batter.
  6. Sprinkle with cinnamon and 1/4 cup sugar. Pour fruit juice or water over the top.
  7. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 45 to 55 minutes. During baking the fruit and juice go to the bottom and the batter rises.
