Mama isn’t kidding when she says “fresh” peach cobbler…



This is one of my mother’s recipes and she took all of these photographs. I wasn’t even there for a bite of it! Mama has always had a way with peaches. In the future, I hope to show you her peach freezer jam and the historical peach crisp we make. She used to make this homemade sour dough bread and we’d eat it hot out of the oven with slices completely smothered in fresh peach freezer jam. Oh my lord, I miss living at home.

In the meantime, while I’m preparing my tutorial on peanut butter balls and finishing up my writing on my grandmother’s sweet potato pie, lets give you another of my mother’s summer classics : Fresh Peach Cobbler.

You’ll need: Lemon juice, self rising flour, sugar, cinnamon, milk, butter

(notice Mama uses the real stuff, unlike me!), and fresh peeled peaches.

There is a note on how to substitute canned at the bottom.

Preheat oven to 350. Place your stick of butter in the dish you are going to bake the cobbler in and stick that in the oven while it preheats so your butter can melt.

Pour lemon juice over the peaches. Stir to coat.

Pour sugar over peaches, stir. Microwave for one minute.

This helps the sugar to dissolve faster.

Mix together flour, cinnamon, and one cup of sugar.

Pour in milk and stir until blended.

Remove dish from oven and pour batter over melted butter. Pour peaches on top of batter.

DO NOT STIR.

DO NOT STIR.

I know you really want to…

KIDDING!

DO NOT STIR!

Bake at 350 for 55 minutes, or until golden on the top. Sprinkle a tablespoon or so of sugar over top. You can stir now –DO NOT STIR!Bake at 350 for 55 minutes, or until golden on the top.

Oh dear lord, I can smell it. My mother – who lives over half an hour away – made this cobbler and emailed me detailed photographs of every step.

If I didn’t have a food blog, that alone would be grounds for some sort of criminal charges.

Mamas are evil.
