Texas Peach Cobbler
I reckon it’s time for me to share my peach cobbler recipe. I’ve been waiting until peaches are in season in most parts of the country. This is a very special dessert. Serve it with Sunday supper.
| Texas Peach Cobbler |
|
Makes 1 small cobbler in a 3-cup dish.
Ingredients
- For the filling:
- 3 medium ripe peaches (a little less than a 1 pound)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- For the batter:
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 5 tablespoons unbleached flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup half-and-half
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- While the oven is pre-heating, place a 3-cup capacity baking dish in the oven with the butter to melt. Keep an eye on it-don’t let it brown.
- Meanwhile, make the filling: Peel and half the peaches. Using a spoon, scrape the center of each peach to remove the reddish center-it becomes bitter when baked. Then, slice each peach into about 8 slices. Stir together the peaches, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon and vanilla together in a bowl and let set while you make the batter.
- For the batter: Whisk together the flour, sugar and baking powder. Stir in the half-and-half lightly—small lumps are okay.
- Spoon this mixture over the melted butter in the baking dish and DO NOT STIR. Evenly pour the fruit on top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Serve with Blue Bell vanilla ice cream.

I love your site! I like to make small quantities of baking, and it’s annoying to divide recipes into quarters or eighths. The Texan slant is interesting too.
