On Sunday, Jack dropped a small-ish box of peaches that he had just picked, while he was walking down the cement stairs outside. He came in and told me, and was pretty upset about it. Well, I remember seeing The Pioneer Woman make Peach Cobbler recently on her show, so I went to The Food Network’s Web Page and searched for the recipe and sure enough, there it was.
Here is my Peach Cobbler
Ingredients:
Butter: for greasing baking dish
***************
Fruit:
3 pounds frozen peaches (I used fresh peaches)
2 cups sugar (I used 1 cup of splenda and 1/2 cup of sugar)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons lemon juice
Pinch of salt
***************
Topping:
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 heaping tablespoons sugar,
1 + 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons vegetable shortening or lard
3/4 cup milk
2 whole eggs
3 tsp sugar and 1/4 tsp cinnamon for sprinkling over the top
***************
Serve With:
Vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a baking dish.
For the fruit: In a bowl, combine the peaches, sugar, flour, lemon juice and salt. Stir and set aside.
For the topping: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir together. Add the butter and shortening, and then cut together with a pastry cutter. (I used my food processor)
Beat the milk and eggs together. Pour into the flour mixture and stir with a fork until just combined.
Pour the peaches into the prepared baking dish. Tear off pinches of the dough topping and drop it onto the surface of the fruit, creating a “cobbled” texture. Sprinkle additional sugar/cinnamon over the top.
Bake until golden brown and bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. If the cobbler is too juicy, use a turkey baster to remove a little of the juice (or spoon the juice over ice cream). Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
