How To: Make Peach Cobbler

So again, here comes another practical application post, but as I just made this for Thanksgiving and LOVE this dish, I thought I'd share.

Ingredients:
4 cups of peeled sliced peaches
2 cups sugar, divided
8 tbsp butter
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 cups self rising flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tbsp cinnamon
3 tbsp brown sugar

Preheat the oven to 350 dg/f, once warmed, place pan inside with butter to melt.

Mix peaches, 1 cup sugar, and water in a pot on the stove over medium heat. Continue to stir on medium heat until the peaches are soft and the sugar and water have created a natural syrup. If you're using canned peaches you can either use the peach/syrup combo in place of the water and sugar, or for a sweeter dish, use the peaches and syrup with a half cup of sugar for a thicker and sweeter syrup.

Mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, and milk in a separate bowl. Add the milk slowly and stir with a fork to prevent clumping.

Once the peaches are ready, remove the heated dish with the melted butter from the oven and pour the flour mixture directly on top of the butter. Do not stir it, and don't worry about mixing things, the flour will rise around the edges of the pan while baking and create the crust for you. After the flour mixture has been poured on top of the butter, spoon the peaches into the bowl and then slowly pour the remaining mixture into the pan. Again, don't mix anything. Simply place the pan in the oven and bake for approximately 35-40 minutes. About halfway through remove the pan and sprinkle the brown sugar on the top layer, then place it back in the oven to continue baking. You'll know when it's done when the top is just barley crunchy and a golden brown. I like to let the oven "bake down" the last ten minutes or so of the baking process. It keeps the breading softer for longer. Remove from the oven, cool, and serve with ice cream or whipped cream!

I hope you who venture to try this enjoy it! Happy holidays!
