I've made this a couple of times recently. I like it because there's no making a separate crust. Both of mine were with frozen peaches from the store, 2nd batch had 2 bags of peaches. I didn't measure the amount of frozen peaches vs. the amount called for in the recipe. I suppose you could use any fruit!
Grandma's Peach Cobbler
* 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
* 1 cup flour
* 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1 cup sugar
* 1 cup milk
* 6 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches, with their juices
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Put the butter in a 9x13-inch Pyrex baking dish and put the dish in the preheating oven. While the butter is melting, mix up the batter by combining the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and milk.
When the butter is completely melted, remove the pan and pour the batter into the melted butter. Then, carefully spoon the peaches and juice evenly over the batter. Return dish to the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
As the cobbler cooks, the batter will rise up and around the peaches. Makes 10 to 12 servings.
Cobblers require ripe peaches of the highest quality. If you can't find really excellent fruit, I would forget about trying to make the Old Fashioned Peach Cobbler; however, a satisfactory Grandma's Peach Cobbler can be made with frozen peaches to which no sugar has been added. These are available at most any supermarket.
