Peaches are BIG in southern North Carolina and they are oh so delicious this time of year. In fact, local farmers are reporting that this is one of the best crops they have seen in years so of course I have been stockpiling them in our freezer as fast as I can. I also decided that I should put them to good use in a traditional southern dessert... peach cobbler! I found this recipe online and it had...881 reviews (almost all positive). That Paula Deen really knows here stuff! Unfortunately it was so good that it was all gobbled up before I could get a photo... but I am sure there will be another pan of this soon.
Ingredients:
* 4 cups peeled, sliced peaches
* 2 cups sugar, divided
* 1/2 cup water
* 8 tablespoons butter
* 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
* 1 1/2 cups milk
* Ground cinnamon, optional
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
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.
Put the butter in a 3-quart baking dish and place in oven to melt.
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.
To serve, scoop onto a plate and serve with your choice of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. We served it with Breyer's all Natural vanilla!
