Peach Cobbler

I decided to start with what looked like a fairly easy one. The peach cobbler looked pretty straight forward.

Start by melting a stick of butter (yeah, that's right) in a baking dish (it didn't specify but I used a 7.6" x 7.6") in a 350 degree oven. Mix together 1 cup sugar, 3/4 cup of milk, 3/4 cup of flour, and 1 tsp of baking powder. Pour the batter over the melted butter and do not stir. Place 2 cups of fresh sliced peaches on top of the batter, and do not stir. It should look something like this:


Stick it in the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes.

I was pretty nervous - in the past, I have somehow always followed directions exactly and still whatever I was making didn't come out exactly right. And as I checked on the cobbler, it was looking more and more pie like and not as cobbler-y as I had imagined, and I thought for sure I had failed at my first attempt. But then my timer went off, and I pulled this out of my stove:


Looked pretty good! And the smell was unreal. I could really get used to my apartment smelling like this.

The recipe stated it should be served warm with vanilla ice cream, so I let it cool for a few minutes and then put some in a bowl with a couple scoops.


I am pleased to report that it was delicious (how could it not be with that much butter). Jeanette came over to sample it too, and I got the thumbs up.


Success! Grammy didn't let me down. More importantly, I didn't let her down.

Next week - sausage and apple stuffed squash!
