Peach Cobbler

• Stir in order given. Stir after each addition:
• 10 peaches, peeled and diced
• 3 T. lemon juice
• 1/4 c. corn starch
• 1 t. nutmeg
• 1 t. cinnamon
• 2 c. brown sugar
• ~Remember! You stir after you add each ingredient to the peaches!
• Pour into a 9″x13″ pan. Bake at 350 degrees while you are preparing the biscuit/cobbler topping.
• Sift together:
• 2 c. flour
• 1 c. granulated sugar
• 1 t. baking powder
• 1/2 t. salt
• 1/2 t. nutmeg
• 1/2 t. cinnamon
• Using a pastry blender, cut in: 1/2 c. cold butter
• Set aside.
• In a separate bowl mix:
• 1 egg, well beaten
• 1/4 c. milk
• Pour into the center of the dry ingredients. Form a semi-sticky dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Form each piece into a “patty” using lightly floured hands. These 12 pieces should fit onto your peaches in the 9″x13″ pan so keep that in mind as you are forming them.
• Place the biscuits onto the peaches. Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour. The biscuits will be golden brown!

~I actually don’t count how many peaches I use because sometimes the peaches I end up using have bad spots or I have been canning and there weren’t enough to make a full canner full. Either way, I use my pan as my measuring device! I fill the pan about 3/4 of the way full and then dump them into the bowl to mix with the ingredients before returning them to the pan and starting the baking process.

Do you wanna hear a story!?

Jon & I have sold peaches for years. One lady assumed that I knew how to make peach cobbler. She asked me to make enough peach cobbler for about 150 people for her. I told her my version of using a white cake mix and baking it. She didn’t want that. She said she wanted a traditional peach cobbler. So, I set to work. I HAD NEVER MADE A REAL PEACH COBBLER IN MY LIFE!!!!

We tried a few recipes but there was always something lacking. The frustrating thing is: I DON’T EAT WHEAT! How to do this!? They say the third times a charm. It really was. I make up this recipe and I liked it. The family liked it.

I hesitated a bit at first, but then was confident! They will love this peach cobbler!

Sure enough. I got glowing reports. I sighed, relieved that it was acceptable to them as well. And I am not sure what makes my recipe different but that’s ok. WE like it! I hope you do as well.
