Recipe(tried): The Lady and Sons Peach Cobbler with Variations

Here is a pretty easy one...and the only recipe I have using canned peaches.

PEACH COBBLER
Source: The Lady & Sons Savannah Country Cookbook

8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup self-rising flour
3/4 cup milk
1 (28 oz.) can sliced peaches in syrup, undrained (see variation)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Put butter in deep baking dish and place in oven to melt.

Mix sugar and flour; add milk slowly to prevent lumping. Pour over melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon fruit on top, gently pouring in syrup. Still do not stir; batter will rise to top during baking.

Bake for 35 to 45 minutes.

Good with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Serves 8 to 10

VARIATIONS:

Substitute this for canned peaches:
When available, fresh fruit is wonderful. You may use fresh blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, cherries, apples, peaches, or pears. Simply clean, peel, and core 2 cups of fruit and mix with 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. In a saucepan, bring mixture to a boil and then simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir often, making sure sugar is completely dissolved.
