Cooking Our Way

When we vacationed in Fontana Village, we had peach or apple cobbler every day and never tired of it.  We learned to make it with biscuit mix but this is the original recipe.

3 heaping cups sliced peaches (or more)
¾ cup plain flour
2 c. sugar
1/8 t. salt
1 stick butter
¾ c. milk
2 t. baking powder

Add 1 or 2 cups sugar to the peaches.  Melt butter in baking dish.  Make batter from flour, baking powder, salt and milk and the other cup of sugar.  Pour batter over melted butter.  Do not stir.  Last, spoon peaches over top of butter and again, do not stir.  Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour. (In Fontana cottages, we never knew what temperature the oven was but the cobbler was good anyway).  Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

Blueberries, blackberries, or apples work well this way.  Adjust the sugar to taste.
