I stumbled across this blog called The Law Student's Wife last night and enjoyed looking at a few of her recipes. She has a few that look wonderful. But, one in particular caught my eye....
Yes, you guessed it-- Prize Peach Cobbler!
And yes, you remembered that I had peaches from the fruit stand from this weekend. No, they didn't make their way into the freezer, but instead several of them were baked into my cobbler. :)
Here's the recipe. I did make one alteration-- I added a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg. It was so, so good. I just have to stop there or else I would go on all night!
Prize Peach
Cobbler
From “The Law
Student’s Wife”, with a slight addition
Serves 6-8
3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 3/4 cup sugar, divided
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted
butter
3 cup fresh, ripe peaches*
(5-6 peaches)
a dash of cinnamon
a dash of nutmeg
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix in 1 cup sugar. Slowly stir in milk to make batter.
- Melt butter in deep casserole dish (about 3 quarts). Pour batter over melted butter. Do not stir.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully add peaches (I use tongs) and boil for about 1 minute. Remove peaches from pot and plunge into a bowl of cold water to stop cooking. Skins can now be easily removed with fingers. Slice peaches into bite-sized pieces.
- In a clean bowl, Mix the peeled, sliced peaches and 3/4 cup sugar thoroughly and carefully spoon them over the batter..
- Bake 1 hour. Batter should be nicely browned on top before removing from oven. Top with heavy cream or vanilla ice cream.
*Ingredient tip: Be sure peaches are
ripe and slightly soft—place in brown paper bag on counter-top for a few days
to ripen if necessary.
