Peach Cobbler

My mom always makes the most delicious peach cobbler but she doesn't use recipes so I it is difficult to ask her how to make it.  I found this on Sunday and made it and it was delicious but of course not as good as my moms and never will be. There is something about your mother's cooking.  Maybe Ellie will like my peach cobbler some day thanks to Paula Deen. 

We ran out of peaches so we made up for it with strawberries which I knew could either be very good or very bad.  Jake said it turned out very good and he it my best critic.

I also didn't have self-rising flour so I found out how to make it by Googling it.

It was easy to make and will be a great cozy dessert in the winter.

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.
