Peach Cobbler

After realizing that I have never, in fact, eaten Peach Cobbler, I felt inclined to make it in order to fix the problem.
 
 
This is actually the second attempt in making the Peach Cobbler after the first attempt didn't go as planned. I used a slightly smaller pan then the recipe called for, and it overflowed onto the bottom of the oven. But practice makes perfect...and also a mess, right?

So on I went to the second attempt, and after downsizing the portions of the ingredients it turned out much, much better :)

Here is how to create this delicious cobbler to gobble up!

Ingredients
  • 4 cups peaches (which was about 4 medium sized peaches)
  • 1 cup sugar, and 3/4 cup sugar (used at separate times)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • Ground cinnamon
Directions 
  • Preheat oven to 355 degrees, and get out a 9x9 baking pan.
  • Peel and slice the peaches, putting them into a saucepan.
  • Combine 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water with the peaches, and after bringing it to a boil turn it down and let it summer for 10 minutes.
  • While the peaches are simmering, place the stick of butter into the baking dish and put it into the oven so it melts.
  • Now mix the 3/4 cup sugar, 1 cup flour and 1 cup milk in a bowl - make sure to stir constantly so that it doesn't clump. After you've mixed it together, add 1 teaspoon cinnamon and mix in.
  • Take the baking pan out of the oven, and carefully pour the batter over the melted butter - do not mix! Then gently spoon the fruit on top of the mixture, and then pour half of the remaining syrup over the top.
  • Sprinkle it with cinnamon, and then place it in the oven.
  • Bake for 45 minutes - and then if you want, you can broil it for a few minutes to make the top crispy!

And then what to do? Enjoy of course! It's especially good with whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream!
