Summer Cobbler


We needed a summer dessert and I decided to use the very delicious peaches that are out right now to make a cobbler.  I had a couple handfuls of blueberries left so I threw those on top.  Delish!  Below is the recipe I used -  from Paula Dean.  I adjusted by using a little less sugar cooked with the peaches and added more peaches (probably an extra cup and a half).  The recipe is quite bready so if you like that, the fruit is good - but I prefer more fruit.
 
 
Ingredients

4 cups peeled, sliced peaches
2 cups sugar, divided
1/2 cup water
8 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1 1/2 cups milk
Ground cinnamon, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine the peaches, 1 cup sugar, and water in a saucepan and mix well. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Put the butter in a 3-quart baking dish and place in oven to melt.

Mix remaining 1 cup sugar, flour, and milk slowly to prevent clumping. Pour mixture over melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon fruit on top, gently pouring in syrup. Sprinkle top with ground cinnamon, if using. Batter will rise to top during baking. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes.

To serve, scoop onto a plate and serve with your choice of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
