Farmer's Almanac Peach Cobbler

This afternoon I picked about 10 gallons of peaches from our tree.

Don't they look good?

Mmmmm; they are good.

So... what shall I make with them?  I know, I know!  I'll make our favorite Peach Cobbler!

At our house, we call this recipe 'Lura Kay's Peach Cobbler', because my sister Lura Kay gave me the recipe about 30 years ago from an old Farmer's Almanac.  But let's call it 'Farmer's Almanac Peach Cobbler'.

Farmer's Almanac Peach Cobbler

Filling:

1 ½ T cornstarch

¼ - ⅓ C brown sugar

½ C water

4 C peaches

1 T butter

1 T lemon juice

Preheat oven to 375°.

Mix cornstarch, brown sugar, and water in a pan.  Add peaches, butter, and lemon juice to sugar mixture.  Cook over medium heat until it thickens, about 15 minutes.

Cobbler topping:

½ C flour

½ C sugar

½ t baking powder

¼ t salt

2 T soft butter

1 egg beaten slightly

Beat together cobbler topping ingredients until smooth.  Pour peaches into 8” pie or cake pan.  Drop rounded spoonfuls of flour mixture onto peaches. 

Bake until golden brown, about 30-35 minutes.

For another variety, use a mix of blueberries and raspberries with your peaches.  And put a dollop of ice cream or whipped topping on it.  Mmmmm, mmm!
