Peach Cobbler

By janis-2

I've tried many recipes on the family and we all agree that this one wins! Two notes:
1) I prefer a 13x9 pan to a 2 quart dish because I found that the batter did not always cook through when it was thicker in the dish. When in the 13x9 pan, it cooked better.
2) The recipe could handle a bit more batter. I plan to experiment with increasing the batter by 1/2.

Ingredients

• Peach Mixture:
• 8 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted & sliced
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon

• 1/2 tsp salt

2. In large bowl, combine Peach mixture ingredients. Toss to coat evenly. Pour into 2 quart baking dish or 13x9 pan.

4. While peaches bake, in a large bowl, combine 1st five batter ingredients (flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt).
Blend in butter with finger tips or pastry blender. Mix until it resembles coarse meal. Stir in boiling water until just combined.
