Peach Cobbler

 

It’s my Grandma’s birthday week and here’s the second sweet recipe in her honor.

I can’t eat this and not think of her.  Sweet Grandma.

When I was little, I wouldn’t eat this.  It had fruit in it and I was adamantly opposed to anything remotely healthy. 

Little did I know…….

This custard-like pan of sweet comfort food is anything BUT the healthiest.

Except for the peaches.  They’re healthy, right?

Well, anyway.  I finally grew up enough one day to call Grandma and ask her for the terribly difficult recipe and here is what she said.

“A stick of butter, a cup of milk, a cup of flour, a cup of sugar, and a can of peaches.”

Wow!  Like I said.  Terribly difficult. 

So, in case you’re lost, the ingredient list is:

1 stick of butter

1 cup of milk

1 cup of flour (self-rising or regular flour plus 1 tsp baking soda)

1 cup of sugar

1 can of sliced peaches

Instructions:

1.  Preheat oven to 350 and melt butter in glass 13×9  pan.

2.  While that’s melting, mix together the flour (and baking soda if you’re using it)  and sugar.

3.  Stir in the milk.  Beat out any lumps, but don’t over mix.

4.  Pour mixture into pan.

5.  Drain most of  the “juice” off the peaches and dump into pan of batter.  Poke the peaches down, but don’t cover them.

6.  Cook on 350 til top is light golden.  (It won’t look done.  It will look like GOO, but it’s done!)

7.  Eat with a spoonful of vanilla ice cream on top.

****  I have experimented and added cinnamon to the batter before and it is delightful.  You can also add a bit of vanilla to the batter too.  Sometimes, just for fun (and when I remember) I sprinkle sugar on the top just before popping it into the oven. 

And also, it is sinful not to eat the batter before baking.  So eat some.
