  • Southern Peach Cobbler

    Talk about putting some souf in ya mouf’! This dish right here was an experiment for me, and it turned out to be the best peach cobbler I’ve ever made! What makes it even better is that you probably have all these ingredients on hand. It’s a beautiful mix of sweet and even more sweet!

    Ingredients:

    1 ½ cups self rising flour 

    1 stick Butter

     ½ cup water 

    2 cups sugar divided

    4 cups peaches, peeled and sliced

    1 cup milk  

    ground cinnamon, optional

    I blanched my peaches, but store bought in the can should work just fine!

    Directions:

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees

    Combine the peaches, 1 cup sugar, and water in a medium saucepan and mix well. Bring to a boil and simmer for at least 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.

    Put the butter in a 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
