Peach Cobbler

This recipe is pretty good. I think I'll try doing some variations to the recipe next time. My husband loves peach cobbler, I just like it. When I make it, it's because I love him! Lol. This recipe was from Foodnetwork.com, by Paula Deen. Usually her desserts have A LOT of sugar. This one wasn't so bad because I didn't add sugar to the peaches, and I didn't use fresh peaches, because It's not peach season here yet. This is where Paula's recipe is found and here is my variation:

• 1 large can of Peaches in heavy syrup
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1 1/2 cups Self-Rising Flour
• 1 1/2 cups Milk
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 8 Tbl Butter or Margarine

First get your 9x13 baking dish and put the butter in the bottom. Turn on your oven to 350 degrees and put your pan in the oven to melt the butter. In the mean time, in a medium mixing bowl add flour and sugar and mix well, then add your milk and vanilla. I used a whisk to get out all the lumps. By the time you have the batter mixed up, your butter will be melted and your oven up to temp. Pull out the pan and open your can of peaches. Pour the batter into the pan w/ the melted butter and spoon the peaches over the top evenly, then pour the reserved syrup evenly over the top. Put your pan back into the oven and bake it for 30-45 minutes, until the top is golden, brown and delicious! Serve with whipped cream, ice cream or even plain!

I think next time, I'm going to keep an eye on the cobbler in the oven and when it's starting to look done, but not yet golden on top, I'm going to sprinkle sugar on top to and then bake it till it's golden. I think a crunchy, sugary crust would be delicious. I think next time, I'm going to use fresh peaches or home canned peaches, I think the flavor will be richer. I might add cinnamon next time, like Paula's recipe calls for. *shrug*
