Peach Cobbler

Yield: 8 servings
Prep: 35 minutes including baking

Filling:

4 cups peeled & sliced fresh peaches
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbs flour

Crust:

1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
3 tbs brown sugar
4 tbs sweet cream butter, cut into pieces
2/3 cup buttermilk

1 tbs brown sugar, for topping

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a bowl combine filling ingredients & mix well. Pour into 1 1/2 quart greased baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes.

While the fruit is baking, combine dry ingredients for crust in a bowl. Cut in the butter to make coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk & stir to form a gooey dough.

Remove peaches from oven & drop rounded spoonfuls of dough on top. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tbs brown sugar and return to the oven for 20 minutes. Top will be golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Tips & Tricks:
To quickly peel peaches, blanch for 30 seconds in boiling water, then put into cold water. Skins will slip off.

To save washing another bowl, mix peaches & filling ingredients directly in baking dish.

How Kids Can Help:
