Southern Peach Cobbler

Posted by Michele at 5:14 PM

This is the recipe my Mamaw has been making since I was a girl (with a few minor tweaks).  I still remember the jars of her home canned peaches that made even winter taste like summer!  (On that note, I need to make chili soon... Her canned tomatoes were awesome!)  I talked to Mamaw yesterday and, as we chatted, her cobbler recipe came up.  So, here's to my Mamaw and her amazing recipe!

Heat the oven the 350°F and grease a 13x9.

Mix together:
2 cups of (GF) A. P. flour,
1.5 tsp of salt:
2 tsp of baking soda; and
2 tsp of baking powder.

Once those are combined, add in and beat on medium until well mixed:
1 cup of sugar;
2 eggs
1/2 cup (1 stick) of melted butter
2 cups of buttermilk OR 1 cup of buttermilk and 1 cup of peach water/juice*

Stir in:
2 lbs of sliced peaches*

*You can use fresh peaches; peel and slice, then bring to a boil for 10 minutes to soften and to create peach water.  If using canned peaches, you can use the juice that is in the can (do not use peaches in syrup).

Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes or until brown and bubbly.  A fork will be clean when the dish is poked to ensure doneness.  Serve warm with vanilla ice cream!
