Summer's Perfect Peach Cobbler

- Slice 3-4 cups fresh peaches. Set aside.
- Take a pinch under 1/8 teaspoon salt, add 3/4 cup flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder. Sift together. Mix in 1 & 1/2 cups sugar. Slowly stir in 3/4 cup milk. Set aside.
- Melt 1/2 cup butter in 8x8 inch pan. Use a 9x13 for a thinner crust. Pour batter over butter but don't stir. Lay peaches on batter. On top, sprinkle with mixture of 1/4 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg.
- Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees. Serves 6. Top with ice cream or whipped cream while warm, if desired.
- Variation: Pour 1/4 cup of Amaretto on bottom of pan with the butter to bake the flavor in the peaches before adding the peaches, batter & sprinkle.
- Peach crumble is made by mixing 1/2 cup melted butter with the dry ingredients instead, of milk. Set aside. Lay peaches in pan on melted butter, then shake thick, crumbled mixture on top with sugar, cinnamon & nutmeg sprinkled over that. Cook as previously directed.

 

Sliced, diced, chilled or grilled, peaches are a tasty, refreshing dessert or snack option on a summer day.
