PEACH COBBLER

1 cup sugar
1 cup self rising flour
1 cup buttermilk
2 large cans of canned peaches (I like to use 2-1/ cup fresh Georgia peaches)
drain syrup and reserve.
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
Cinnamon to taste
Melt butter. Mix ½ cup sugar, flour and milk. Pour in dish with butter.
Spread on bottom of pan.
Mix water, ½ cup sugar and peaches together. Spoon over batter and add juice from canned peaches. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
Bake at 350 degrees until brown…..35-40 minutes
Selection Tips from Dickey Farms:
-
- Smell the peach. The peach is a member of the rose family and should have a pleasingly sweet fragrance.
- Look for a creamy gold to yellow under-color. The red or “blush” of a peach is an indication of variety, not ripeness.
- Peaches should be soft to the touch but not mushy.
- Look for a well defined crease that runs from the stem to the point.
- Don’t squeeze peaches; they bruise easily.
- Place firm peaches on the counter for a day or two, and they’ll ripen.
- Promptly refrigerate ripe peaches and eat them within a week of purchase.
- To peel a peach, dip it into boiling water for 30 seconds, then in cold water. The peel should slide off easily.
- To keep sliced peaches from darkening, add lemon juice or ascorbic acid.

Thanks for the selections and conversion tips. I’m heading to the store for some peaches!
The peaches from Dickey Farms are so good. One of our favorite things to do when we go to Georgia is to stop there and get their homemade peach ice cream. It is SOOO delicious with fresh peaches. What makes it even better is to sit in one of their rocking chairs while enjoying it. YUM!!!
Looks great!
I have been looking for a good peach cobbler recipe that was easy to bake for ages! Wow! I found it! This recipe is soooo easy and it melts in your mouth! I have made it twice in the last week and it’s been great every time. My husband and my mom told me that they would love it if I cooked one every week! Thanks for sharing!
WOW!! This was one of the best peach cobblers I have ever tasted! And so easy to make. It is so buttery and delicious. I was dieting before I found this recipe but I have made it twice since I got it! Thanks a lot!!
