Isn't That Just Peachy!

I shouldn't have done it, but I did it anyway.

Andy didn't feel well today, some kind of sinus situation, and I wanted to cheer him up. Part of me wanted to do something nice for him but part of me was calculating calories. So, I said "If I make this cobbler, we will just eat it until it is gone." To which Andy replied "Isn't that the point?" Makes sense unless you are on a diet as I am, or at least, as I "SAY" I am. So, to please him, mind you, I took a jar of last years fresh-from-our-own-tree-peaches out of the pantry.

This peach cobbler is so very easy and yummy too. It is almost the same recipe as the Easy Cherry Cobbler from 7/17/10.

Easy Peach Cobbler

1 Cup Self-rising flour

1 Cup sugar

1 Stick butter

3/4 Cup milk

1/4 Cup peach juice from drained peaches

1 # 2 Can peaches, drained, reserve juice **You can use fresh, canned or frozen fruit. **

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the stick of butter in a 8 by 8 glass pan and melt in the oven. Mix flour and sugar and add milk and peach juice gradually, stirring so it doesn't become lumpy. Mix in vanilla. Pour batter over butter. Add fruit over batter. Sprinkle with a little sugar. Bake until brown. I tested to see if the cobbler was done by inserting a knife in the center and when it comes out clean- it is done.

This cobbler is really good with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

** Note: Andy likes more fruit than cake. I like more cake than fruit. This recipe is more the way I like it. Today, I made it his way by adding twice the amount of peaches. I used a round 2 quart casserole dish. It took a little over an 1 hour to bake. About 45 minutes into the baking, I covered the cobbler with a piece of aluminum foil to prevent it from getting too brown on top.
