Just Peachy!

Hello! Megan of the Sunday Girls here rolling out another new feature for our blog. We thought we'd share with you recipes that we find that we just love.

This past weekend my husband, son and I went to visit his parents in Delaware and while out for a drive stumbled across a U-Pick peach farm! Even though the temperature was in the 100's we decided to get out and pick a few to give the little guy a fun experience. And he sure did love it. The only problem was he picked two kinds of peaches, the green ones on the trees or the rotten ones on the ground. He's two, so he's still learning.

Here's some of our peaches!


Once we got home with our bushel of peaches I remembered we were leaving on Friday for two weeks down in the Outer Banks and even though we all do love eating peaches, well, that's a lot of peaches. So off to my trusty google search page to find a peach cobbler recipe.

I found one on the Food Network by Paula Deen and decided to give it a try. Of course being a Paula Deen recipe it's full of the yumminess that is sugar and butter.

It was a pretty simple recipe although I cut it in half since there are only three of us here.

After boiling the sliced peaches in water and sugar,


You add it to a baking dish that has melted butter and a flour, sugar, milk mixture in it. You spoon the peaches on top and gently pour the juice over it and pop it in the oven for 30-45 minutes!

Here it is fresh from the oven, see the bubbly goodness? Mmmmm....


Of course we served it up tonight with some vanilla ice cream!


Yummy!


Keep reading for the recipe!

Paula Deen's Peach Cobbler
Ingredients

* 4 cups peeled, sliced peaches
* 2 cups sugar, divided
* 1/2 cup water
* 8 tablespoons butter
* 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
* 1 1/2 cups milk
* Ground cinnamon, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine the peaches, 1 cup sugar, and water in a saucepan and mix well. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Put the butter in a 3-quart baking dish and place in oven to melt.

Mix remaining 1 cup sugar, flour, and milk slowly to prevent clumping. Pour mixture over melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon fruit on top, gently pouring in syrup. Sprinkle top with ground cinnamon, if using. Batter will rise to top during baking. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes.

To serve, scoop onto a plate and serve with your choice of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
