Boy, it's been dessert time around here. Yes, I bake when I'm stressed, and yes, I eat when I bake. So we've had a few more desserts than we need...hey, it's vacation season, and even though (or maybe because) we're not on vacation, we can still enjoy some treats.
This dessert I made because I had fresh peaches that were going to go bad. I hate to waste good fruit (I usually cut it up and make these). I had quite a few peaches and cobbler just sounded so good. This is a recipe I obtained from USA Today many moons ago. It's super easy, and served warm with a scoop of ice cream, it's a perfect summer dessert. It's flexible too -- you can use almost any fruit.
4 T. butter
¾ cup flour
¾ cup sugar
1 t. baking powder
¼ t. salt
¾ cup milk
2 cups sliced fresh peaches or nectarines (or a 12-ounce package of frozen berries) or whole blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries or a combination of fruits
1 T. sugar
Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position, and heat oven to 350 degrees.
Place butter in an 8-inch square or 9-inch round pan; set in oven to melt. When butter has melted, remove pan from oven.
Whisk flour, 3/4 cup of sugar, baking powder and salt in small bowl. Add milk; whisk to form a smooth batter. Pour batter into pan, then scatter fruit over batter. Sprinkle with remaining 1 Tb. of sugar.
Bake until batter browns and fruit bubbles, 50 to 60 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a small scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.

ReplyDeleteGreat MINDS think alike ? Ha, I just sent a very complicated recipe for the same thing out this morning to friends, and this one sure looks like it would do the trick. Thanks for sharing!
