Grandma’s Southern Peach Cobbler

My Grandmother passed away a couple of years ago. And right afterward, I found myself missing her so much that I was searching for something to feel close to her again. One thought kept popping into my mind, peach cobbler. Isn’t it funny how food has the power to do so much more than just fill our stomachs! My grandma made the best peach cobbler, with it’s buttery, spongey crust, and gooey peach filling. Unfortunately, she never wrote down any of her recipes, so I felt like there was no hope of making this wonderful, sentimental dessert. But thank God for the amazing invention of the Internet. I did a search on Google, and I finally found a recipe that looked just like Grandma’s cobbler. So I tried it, and low and behold, it tasted just like it, too. I think I ate peach cobbler everyday for a week after Grandma died, and some how it helped sooth the ache in my heart. So here’s to all the Grandma’s out there who make us unhealthy sweets to make us feel loved.

Ingredients

1 c butter (no substitutions)
2 c sugar
1 1/2 c self rising flour
1 1/2 c whole milk
2 cans of peaches (I use 1 in heavy syrup & 1 in light. It makes me feel a little better!)

Preheat oven to 350. Cut butter into pads and place in a large baking dish. Place the dish in the oven to melt the butter.

Mix sugar and flour together. Stir in milk a little at a time. Pour batter over melted butter. Spoon peaches and syrup over batter.

Bake for 45 minutes to an hour.

**NOTE**
Bake in a glass dish! Trust me, I just learned this the hard way. I prepared two cobblers for a potluck and used a glass dish for one, and a disposable aluminum pan for the other. Bad idea! The cobbler baked in the glass casserole dish was perfect–chewey crust, creamy filling, perfect. The metal pan completely changed the texture and consistency of the cobbler, and not in a good way. SO learn from my mistake, use a glass dish.
