Peach Cobbler

Hello again! Thanks for continuing to read my blog. I really am loving this, and enjoying the comments a lot. I told you all I made peach cobbler, remember?! How could you forget. :) I found this recipe online on http://www.myrecipes.com/, you can find the recipe here. It turned out quite yummy, but there are a couple changes I would do. It was considered an easy cobbler recipe, and it really was. Peaches are in season, well actually towards the end of the season I think. I went to Safeway(which I really don't like all that much) because it was close, and grabbed five peaches, and it was less than 2 dollars! I thought that was pretty darn good, but I didn't shop around so I'm not sure if .99cents a pound is the going rate for them or not right now. I was happy with it though. Sorry to say my husband and I didn't cut into the cobbler until later at night, so I didn't get too many good pictures. I'll share with you what I have.

This was my second time making peach cobbler, and both tries turned out good. My Mother In-Law makes a pretty mean peach cobbler if I do say so myself. My husband loves it, and she makes it for him when we get together. :) If you want a simple, and quick peach cobbler on the table in no time, definitely try this out!

Ingredients:(makes 10 servings) I halved the recipe, but will give you the full version, and I will tell you what I will do different next time, and you can decide how you would like to make it. :)

1/2 cup unsalted butter( I think you can do with less butter for sure. You will see in my picture that it sort of engulfed my batter)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar, divided (I halved it, so I only used 1 cup, divided, and it was too, much. I would cut 1/4 cup out)
1 tbls baking powder
pinch of salt
1 cup milk
4 cups fresh peach slices(I halved it, so I needed 2 cups peaches, and that was about 3 peaches)
1 tbls lemon juice
ground cinnamon or nutmeg(optional)

First thing you want to do, is peel and slice up the peaches. I guess I peeled mine the hard way, without blanching them. Here is a step by step process which might make it easier.

Melt the butter. I melted it in the microwave in a little dish. Pour it into 13x9" baking pan. I halved the recipe so I used a 8x8" pan. Combine flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.

Add milk.

Mix together just until dry ingredients are moistened.

Pour over butter. Do not stir.

Bring remaining 1 cup sugar, peach slices, and lemon juice to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly.

Pour over batter. Do not stir.

Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired. I HAD to have cinnamon!

Bake at 375 degree, for 40 to 45 minutes(depending on pan size) or until golden brown. Serve cobbler warm, or cool. I served ours with ice cream of course! Yum!
