so classes start this week and i should be perfecting the assignment for essay 1. but here i am, cobbling together this little personal cookbook space.
which means a cobbler recipe is probably just perfect.
this is a "hot fruit"cobbler, a very southern sort of thing, something i've seen done in cast iron skillets. but the dough is plopped over the top, which brings to mind new england-style fruit puddings. it's a simplish, wonderful, high-summer thing.
this recipe calls for peaches, but really any summer fruit (blueberries, nectarines, even cherries) will work well as long as it's not too watery.
peel and slice 3 big peaches.
mix with 1/4 cup sugar.
put in am 8" pan or cast iron skillet at 375 degrees while you make the dough.
mix:
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
3 tsp baking powder
1 Tbsp sugar
1/3 cup softened butter
then mix in 1/2 cup milk and 1 beaten egg.
spread dough over hot peaches. (i love the sound of that: hot peaches. oooh.)
sprinkle with a quick dusting of sugar.
bake for :40.
lovely, lovely topped with homemade vanilla ice cream after a barbeque.
