Cuddle Up with Cobbler

February 13, 2006 | Posted by Allison as Dessert Recipes at 2:00 pm | (1) Comment »

Cobblers are an American deep-dish fruit dessert or pie with a thick crust (usually a biscuit crust) and a fruit filling such as blackberries, blueberries, apples or in this case, peaches.  Some versions of cobbler are enclosed in the crust while others have a crumb topping.  My favorite has always been, the more biscuit breading the better!

Cuddle up tonight with this Crusty Perfect Peach Cobbler:

Ingredients:

• 3 cups sliced peaches (canned or fresh)
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
• 1 teaspoon almond extract (the real stuff please)
• 1 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1/3 cup shortening (I never said it was healthy!)
• 1/2 cup milk (whole is better)
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons white sugar

What’s Next:

Preheat your oven to 375 F, or 190 C. 

Arrange peaches on a greased 8 inch square pan.

In a large bowl, mix together:  1/4 cup sugar, lemon juice, lemon peel & almond extract.  Sprinkle mixture over peaches.

To prepare your shortcake- sift together flour, salt, baking powder & 1 tablespoon sugar into a large bowl.  Cut in shortening until the mixture is like coarse bread crumbs.

Add milk and eggs and stir until flour is moistened.  Spread dough over peaches.  Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar.

Bake for 40 minutes or until browned.  Try it topped with vanilla bean ice cream & enjoy your peachy dessert!

Eat well & Laugh often.
