Peach Cobbler

Baking bread isn't an option right now because it is incredibly hot outside. When the weather stops being nearly 100 degrees and incredibly humid, I will return to the bread baking. Until then, I will bake random things. Or I will be smart and make something that requires no baking. Maybe next time.

Today you get a recipe for peach cobbler. We had 6 pounds of peaches for some reason, so I used nearly 3 pounds to make this. If you aren't sure how to properly peel peaches, feel free to look at the previous post. I altered this recipe a bit from the original. I cut down the amount of sugar and added cinnamon and nutmeg. The outcome is amazing. If you like peaches, you should absolutely give this a try.

Peach Cobbler

7 or 8 peaches, peeled and sliced

cinnamon and nutmeg, to taste

1 T butter, softened

1/2 C sugar

1/4 t salt

2 t baking powder

1 C sifted flour

1/2 C milk

1/2 C sugar

1/2 C cold water

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Line the bottom of a greased 9x9 inch baking dish with the peach slices. Sprinkle nutmeg and cinnamon on top. I didn’t measure, but I probably used around 1/2 t cinnamon and 1/4 t nutmeg.

In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter and 1/2 cup of sugar with a fork.

Add the salt, baking powder, and sifted flour to this sugary mixture.

Add the milk and stir until combined. I forgot to take a picture of this step, but the result is nothing unexpected.

Pour the batter over the peaches and gently spread it all around. Evenly pour the 1/2 cup of sugar on top of the batter.

Drench all of this with the 1/2 cup of cold water.

Bake for an hour.

Let cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This goes great with whipped cream. It probably also goes great with ice cream, but I didn't have any ice cream.

Enjoy!
