Peach Cobbler

[SierraCook]

I am going to a potluck/BBQ a couple of weekends and I want to bring a peach cobbler. I have never made a peach cobbler before and found this recipe on the internet. Does this recipe look OK and does anyone has a recipe that they like?

Thanks, SC


Grandma's Peach Cobbler

• 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
• 1 cup flour
• 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 3 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches, with their juices

Preheat oven to 350°F.


Put the butter in a 9x13-inch Pyrex baking dish and put the dish in the preheating oven. While the butter is melting, mix up the batter by combining the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and milk.

When the butter is completely melted, remove the pan and pour the batter into the melted butter. Then, carefully spoon the peaches and juice evenly over the batter. Return dish to the oven and bake for 30 minutes. As the cobbler cooks, the batter will rise up and around the peaches. Makes 10 to 12 servings.

It looks fine to me, Sierra. I don't have a recipe for peach cobbler, but this is one of my favorite peach recipes that is similar to a cobbler but with a twist. Depending on how hungry people are, this can serve 6-8 (in my house, 4 at most!).

Peach Whirligigs



5 large fresh peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced

2 c water

1 ½ c white sugar

2 Tbsp cornstarch

1 1/3 c buttermilk baking mix (like Bisquick. I use the reduced fat Bisquick)

2 Tbsp white sugar

2 Tbsp butter, melted

1/3 c milk

2 Tbsp butter softened

¼ c white sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon



Preheat oven to 425F.



In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine peaches, water, 1 ½ c sugar and cornstarch. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Boil for one minute, then reduce heat to low to keep warm.



In a large bowl, stir together baking mix, 2 Tbsp sugar, melted butter and milk to form a soft dough. Remove to floured surface and knead 8-10 times. Roll out into a 9” square.



Spread softened butter over dough. Combine ¼ c sugar with cinnamon, and sprinkle mixture over dough. Roll dough into a log shape and cut into six 1 ½” slices. Pour hot peach mixture into an 8x8” baking dish. Place roll slices, cut side up, on top of peach mixture.



Bake in preheated oven 20-25 minutes, until puffed and golden. Serve warm.

This is the recipe that I use. It's from the Betty Crocker cookbook. I always have home canned peaches here so I use them instead of fresh. Also, I add a tablespoon or two of sugar to the crust and double that part of the recipe since my family loves the bread part of this dessert.

It's great topped with French Vanilla ice cream

Yum, both your recipes sound fabulous. Thanks for sharing. I may just have to try both. Now I need to decide which one to make next weekend.

Sierra - I have the ultimate peach cobbler recipe that my mom makes all the time. I thought I'd posted it, but I can't find it. After I put the next load of laundry in, I'll type it out for you.

Thanks, jkath and crewsk. I appreciate your input. I hope that you have a great weekend.

The recipe I use is practically the same as crewsk's. I reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup (peaches are sweet) and the milk to 2/3 cup. Add a pinch of fresh grated nutmeg. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes.

I made some last weekend and tossed in a few blueberries.

 

[pdswife]

Are there blueberries in yours HanArt??

 

[SierraCook]

I love blueberries. I may have to add them to my recipe. Thanks!!

 

[pdswife]

silly me. I re-read the recipe. Yep, those are blueberries. Yummy!

I'm going nutty. I can't find the recipe!!!
So, I've emailed mom, and hopefully she'll get back to me.
