Ok y'all, first of all I'm so sorry I haven't written for a while. I recently started a new job and it has proven to be very time consuming. That being said, I will try to do better! So here I have for you another recipe from The Lady & Sons Just Desserts by Miss Paula H. Deen. I've been dying to make this recipe for a while now and since September is peach season in Colorado, I decided now was the perfect time! The recipe calls for a can of peaches however I def recommend using frozen instead of canned and making your own syrup, as directed below. This is such an easy recipe and these pictures certainly don't do justice to convey how great it tastes, which is why you'll just have to make it next time you're having guests! Enjoy!!
Paula says: It was an instant hit on the first day we offered this dessert at The Lady & Sons, and remains so today. This delicious cobbler can be found on our dessert trays at both lunch and dinnertime. It's so easy to make you won't believe it!!
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup self-rising flour
3/4 cup milk
1 28-ounce can sliced peaches in heavy syrup, undrained (or use fresh if available)
cinnamon for sprinkling (optional, use only with peach or apple cobbler)
Preheat oven to 350. Place butter in oven in a 2-quart baking dish to melt. Stir sugar and flour together and mix well. Slowly add milk and continue to stir to prevent the batter from lumping. Being careful not to burn yourself, remove hot baking dish containing melted butter from oven; pour batter directly over butter in baking dish (DO NOT STIR). Spoon fruit on top of batter, then gently pour syrup on top (DO NOT STIR). Sprinkle with cinnamon, if using. The most important part of this dish is not stirring the mixture. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. Your batter will rise above your fruit, producing the most wonderful of crusts. Sever warm with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
If they are available by all means use fresh peaches. In a saucepan, mix two cups fresh peach slices with one cup sugar and one cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. An almost equally good product is frozen peach slices. Simply follow the instructions for the fresh peach slices.
Y'all. I hate cobbler--Nay I loath cobbler. That is until Alyssa made this scrumptious dessert. By the time I was done eating, I was left with an feeling of despair over my empty bowl, but a huge smile on my face because of the absolute amazing-ness and pure goodness. For the following two days (the amount of time it took us to devour the dish) all I could do was anticipate the next meal so I could have some crumbly magnificence in my belly. So, even if you HATE cobbler, trust me-- you'll love and forever dream about this dessert.
