I love cobbler a la mode, but that's up to you. If you want to make this for a dinner party, the half size is good for 3-4 adults. This isn't the sort of thing you can make ahead, but you can put it in the oven when the meal is served and it'll be ready to eat shortly after the meal.
Ingredients
1 2/3 c sugar, separated (3/4 cup)
2 14-15oz cans of peaches in heavy syrup ( 1 can)
3/4 c milk (3/8 c)
1 c flour (1/2 c)
6 tbsp butter (3 tbsp)
1/2 tsp cinnamon (1/4 tsp)
1 tsp vanilla extract (1/2 tsp)
2 tsp baking powder (1 tsp)
Non-standard supplies
None
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Empty canned peaches into a mixing bowl and add 2/3 (1/4) c of sugar. Stir to dissolve sugar and set aside
3. Put all the butter in a 9 x 13 pan and place the pan in the warm oven to melt. (Careful not to brown the butter)4. Mix all the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl, stirring with a form until the dough is incorporated.
5. Pull the pan out of the oven and swirl the butter around and make sure it is distributed about half way up the sides of the pan.
6. Pour the dough into the pan.
7. Spoon the peaches over the dough to distribute them evenly.
8. Gently pour the syrup over the peaches. Yes, it'll look like a mess.
9. Bake until golden (see picture). That'll take somewhere between 45 min and 55 min depending on your pan and oven. It's ok if the liquid on the edges looks bubbly and boiling and thin.
10. Let it cool for about 15 minutes before you dig in, so that the liquids set up a bit.
Variations
Use a different fruit, if you like, but I LOVE peaches!
