Melinda’s Favorite Peach Cobbler

Dough

1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk

Peaches

2 cups fresh peaches, pitted and sliced
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups water

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly butter a 9×9″ glass baking dish.

In a large bowl, cream the butter and 1/2 cup sugar. In a separate bowl, mix flour, salt and baking powder. Add to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk. Spread mixture evenly into baking dish.

If using canned peaches, drain thoroughly, reserving the juice. Spoon fruit over batter. Sprinkle with cinnamon and 1/4 cup sugar. Pour fruit juice or water over the top.

Bake for 45 to 55 minutes. During baking, the fruit and juice will shift to the bottom and the batter will rise.

Yield: 6-8 servings

Time to make: 60-80 minutes
