Ingredients
7 or 8 ripe peaches (depending on size of peaches)
1 cup SELF RISING flour
1 cup sugar
1 stick butter
1 egg
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350.
Peel and slice fruit.
Cover the bottom of a 10” glass baking dish with the fruit. Fruit should be about 1” deep in the dish.
In a bowl, mix the SELF RISING flour and sugar.
Stir in the egg. (The mixture will be crumbly. You may think, “hmm, did I forget an ingredient?” Don’t worry; this is how it is supposed to look!)
Spread the mixture evenly over the fruit.
Melt the stick of butter until liquid. Drizzle over the flour/sugar/egg mixture.
Bake for about 35-40 minutes or until top is golden brown.
Serve with dollop of whipped cream or (vanilla or coffee) ice cream.
Serves about 6.
Variations
Add about a pint of blueberries to the above. This is a damn near unbeatable combo.
This recipe also works with apples (add a little cinnamon to the apples).
Notes
- This recipe can be doubled.
- This dish does not keep well past the day it is made so make sure to invite enough people over to finish it off.
- In the dozen or so years that I have been making this cobbler, there has NEVER been an instance when I served it and wasn’t asked for the recipe. This is true. I’ll bet it happens to you, so keep this recipe handy!
Enjoy!
