My Favorite Peach Cobbler

Selena wanted to bake something today. I decided it was a good day for Peach Cobbler. I got this recipe from my mother-in-law, it is so simple and delicious.
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1/4 tsp salt
Mix all ingredients in a bowl with a hand mixer.
In a square baking dish pour in one large can of peaches with juice. (now I like more peaches so I use two cans of peaches making sure to drain the juice off one can) Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar over top of peaches.  If you desire a thicker sauce add 1 tablespoon of flour.
Using a large table spoon drop the batter mixture over the top of peaches, do not smooth it out it will be more like biscuits dropped on top.

Bake for 45 – 50 minutes at 375 degrees.


I like to serve mine warm. You can top it off with ice cream, that is really yummy but all we had was chocolate ice cream in the freezer, I didn’t think that would be very delicious. What did Selena think?

Obviously you can tell from her body language she didn’t really care for it, which I truly didn’t think she would since she doesn’t like peaches. Papa and I sure loved it though.
One hint, do not double this recipe, it will not bake properly. When I have doubled the recipe, I make two separate batches of the topping. We have never been able to figure out why doubling the batter at one time results in it not baking correctly.
