Peach Cobbler

Tonight, I made Peach Cobbler with some peaches that Mel got for me from the Sale Barn.

Peach Cobbler

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cup self-rising flour
• 8 tablespoon (1 stick) butter
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 cup sugar, divided
• 4 cup peeled, sliced peaches
• 1 1/2 cup milk
• ground cinnamon, optional

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine the peaches, 1 cup sugar, and water in a saucepan and mix well. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
3. Put the butter in a 3-quart baking dish and place in oven to melt.
4. Mix remaining 1 cup sugar, flour, and milk slowly to prevent clumping. Pour mixture over melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon fruit on top, gently pouring in syrup. Sprinkle top with ground cinnamon, if using. Batter will rise to top during baking. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes.
5. To serve, scoop onto a plate and serve with your choice of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

I brought the cobbler in to work at the Tidewater, and it went over quite well. Everyone loved it. I was even able to save a piece for Tom, and he liked it, too.
