Savannah Peach Cobbler
From The Lady and Sons: Savannah Country Cookbook
Ingredients
8 Tablespoons (1 Stick) butter
1 Cup sugar
3/4 Cup self-rising flour
3/4 cup milk
One 28 oz. Can sliced peaches in syrup, undrained (see variation)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°. Put butter in deep baking dish and place in oven to melt. Mix sugar and flour; add milk slowly to prevent lumping. Pour over melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon fruit on top, gently pouring in syrup. Still do not stir; batter will rise to top during baking. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes. Good with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Variation: When available, fresh fruit is wonderful. You may use fresh blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, cherries, apples, peaches, or pears. Simply clean, peel, and core 2 cups of fruit and mix with 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. In a saucepan, bring mixture to a boil and then simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir often, making sure sugar is completely dissolved. Substitute this for canned peaches.
