Georgia Peach Cobbler Food

THE BEST PEACH COBBLER

Steps:

• For the filling: Put the peaches, sugar, cinnamon, salt and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the peach juices begin to boil. Lower to a simmer and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• For the batter: Put the butter in a 2-quart baking dish and place it in the oven while it preheats. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Stir the vanilla into the milk in a liquid measuring cup. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while whisking until well combined.
• Remove the baking dish from the oven and pour the batter in an even layer over the melted butter. Spoon the peaches along with their juices evenly over the top of the batter. Bake until the cobbler is golden brown on top and the peach juices are bubbling, 35 to 45 minutes.
• Let cool to room temperature before serving.

GEORGIA FRESH PEACH COBBLER

Steps:

• Blanch and peel peaches; cut them in half; remove the pits, and slice them coarse.
• Note: to blanch peaches-have ready a large bowl of ice-cold water, a slotted spoon, and a saucepan of boiling water deep enough to cover the peaches; with the slotted spoon place the peaches in the boiling water, two or three at a time (if the peaches are fully ripe, they will need only about 15 seconds in the boiling water, if not quite ripe, they will need more); with the slotted spoon, raise a peach from the water and move your thumb firmly over the skin; if the skin has loosened enough it will wrinkle and feel loose; at that point transfer it to the ice water; peel with your fingers, starting at the stem end.
• Place sliced peaches in a 3-quart saucepan with the sugar, butter, and water; stir briefly over med-high heat just until the mixture comes to a boil; remove from the heat and set aside.
• Adjust oven rack to the middle of the oven; preheat to 375°.
• Generously butter a shallow ovenproof baking dish with at least a 2-quart capacity; it can be larger but not smaller.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
• In a small bowl, beat the butter with the vanilla and almond extract; beat in the sugar to mix.
• On low speed add in half of the milk, then half of the sifted dry ingredients, the remainder of the milk then the remainder of the dry ingredients, scraping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed and beating only until mixed.
• Pour the batter into the baking dish and spread it smooth.
• With a large slotted spoon, place the prepared peaches evenly over the batter (reserve the peach syrup for the moment); place the dish in the oven.
• Now, pouring the peach syrup (it will be thin) over the fruit will be easier if you pour it in two additions into a 2-cup measuring cup, then reach into the oven and quickly pour it over the top of the fruit in the baking dish.
• Place a cookie sheet on a rack below the baking dish to catch spills.
• Bake for 20 minutes; then decrease temperature to 325° and bake for 25 minutes.
• Serve immediately or within 20-30 minutes on large flat plates or in dessert bowls, spooning some of the thickened syrup from the bottom over or alongside each portion.
• Serve plain or with ice cream.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8X11 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. In a medium-size mixing bowl coarsely mix 3/4 cup of the sugar, the flour, and 1/4 cup melted butter together. Sprinkle about one-third of this mixture on the bottom of the baking dish.
• 2. Add the peaches and juice. (If the juice from the peaches does not cover the peaches, add a small amount of water just to cover the peaches. Too little liquid will make the cobbler dry. Too much liquid will make it soupy.)
• 3. Top the peaches with the remaining sugar/flour mixture. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and the remaining 1/4 cup butter. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until brown and bubbly. Serve hot! ***HINT: Fresh peaches can be used. When using fresh peaches, peel and slice them, sprinkling the slices with an additional 1/2 cup sugar. Refrigerate them for 2 to 3 hours before using. ***ALSO: If you do not have self-rising flour, you may substitute all-purpose flour. For every 1 cup of self-rising flour needed mix together: 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp baking soda

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F Lightly grease an 8x8x2-inch baking pan. Prepare the filling by combining the sugar, cornstarch and syrup in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the mixture boils and is thick. Add the canned peaches and almond extract. Keep the filling warm while you prepare the topping.
• To prepare the topping, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon. Cut in the margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine the egg and milk in a small bowl, and stir into flour mixture just until moistened. Pour the filling into the prepared pan. Drop the topping into 6 mounds on top of the hot filling. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into topping comes out clean. Serve warm with whipped topping or ice cream, if desired.
