re: Cooking with Peaches

Here's my go-to peach cobbler recipe and it is always a hit with those who eat it.


6 large peaches cut into slices and peel removed
1 1/2 cups sugar divided
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup melted butter plus more for coating the baking pan
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup ice water

Grease a 9 x 13 baking pan with butter and line it with the peaches.
Combine 1/2 cup sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, melted butter, vanilla and milk. Stir until smooth and pour evenly over the peaches----spread with a spatula if need be to even it out.

Then combine remaining 1 cup sugar with 1/4 cup ice water and pour over the batter mixture.

Bake for 1 hr. at 350 degrees. I like to let it cool before cutting and toss a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, but it's damn good just plain with a glass of cold milk.
