......and serve with homemade vanilla icecream.

Take out the cinnamon and remember the GOOD vanilla ice cream to go on top while the cobbler is warm.

2 minutes you beat me by two minutes

Recipe directions call for baking powder, but I didn’t see that ingredient listed so I wonder how much baking soda (maybe I’m losing my eyesight, LOL)

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Any idea how I can adapt this to use frozen peaches? I have a lot of them left from last summer (boy, I love having my own tree!).

I’ve made a version of this recipe for years. In the baking dish you melt the butter. In the mixing bowl you combine all the listed ingredients (milk, 1 cup of the sugar, flour and whatever else is listed, except peaches and a portion of the sugar left out). This forms a batter, which you pour into the baking dish over the warm melted butter. Then you arrange the peaches over the batter, sprinkle the sugar over the peaches/batter sprinkle the cinnamon if you like and bake.

My similar recipe has 1 1/2 t baking powder to the following proportions of other ingredients: 1 c sugar, 1 c flour, 1/4 tsp salt, 3/4 c milk.

You owe me a new shirt I just slobbered all over myself read the headline now I am in deep trouble trying to read the rest of the story line.
THANKS

I make this recipe using canned peaches drained and used right out of the can (no cooking as this recipe directs). I would bet if you defrost, drain any juice and just layer over the batter, then bake, you would be fine. (Are they in sweetened syrup and frozen? - if not maybe defrost and leave in fridge for a day with a little sugar on them). I don’t think you can hurt this recipe (which is also good with other canned fruits).

Mouth watering at the thought. My sainted mom added tapioca to her peach cobler, Wish I knew how to make hers.

Only one problem with this. No cobbler, peach or otherwise, is as good as when baked in a cast-iron dutch oven over open coals. Period.

[firebrand]

We used to make peach pie with fresh peaches in the summertime. I agree on leaving out the cinnamon, but maybe cobbler is a different animal. But we started adding a couple of tablespoons tapioca to the peaches after the first try so we didn't have peach soup in a pastry crust.

Mm. Brings back memories. With iced tea garnished with mint from the backyard.

Last time I made this was July 1976 to serve at a watch-the-tall-ships party.

Def. have to use a cast iron pan!! One of my favorite desserts ever....

[blondee123]

Just use Bisquick instead of flour, the baking soda is already in it!

[Maigrey]

I adjust mine to half and half instead of milk;
using fresh peaches instead of canned (avoids too much liquid)
and using chinese five spice instead of cinnamon - for better flavor.

My dearly departed grandmother would eat a mess of it and asked for another pan of it!
