Peach Cobbler

Here is my Mama's recipe, and as far as I'm concerned, it is the very best.

Mama's Peach Cobbler

1/4 c. butter, softened
1 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 c. milk
1/4 tsp. salt

Mix well and pour into a 9x13 in baking dish that has been buttered. Peel and slice at least 3 cups fresh peaches; spread evenly over batter. (Canned peaches may be used, just drain really well. I've even used frozen peaches)

Make a syrup by boiling 2 c. water and 1 1/2 c. sugar for 5 minutes. Pour over the peaches and bake 1 hour at 350 degrees. (I always put my baking dish on a larger cookie sheet just in case it decides to run over)

Sounds good to me-- I'd leave out the lemon zest because I don't like lemon zest but that's personal taste!

Here in Austin there was a restaurant that made fabulous Peach Cobbler.. Here is their famous Peach cobbler recipe..

It also will work for other fruits.

Texas Tumbleweed Peach Cobbler

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and teaspoons baking powder. Add one cup milk and stir until it's lumpy. In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 pound (one stick) butter or margarine (to save dirtying up an extra pan, I usually just turn on the oven to preheat and melt the butter right in the baking dish I'm making the cobbler in) and pur into a 9-inch baking pan. then pour the flour, sugar, milk mixture over the butter. DO NOT MIX!!!! Now cover with a large can of sliced peaches (in heavy syrup). DO NOT MIX!!!!!!

The topping is made of a half cup of sugar and five teaspoons of cinnamon mixed together and sprinkled over the peaches. DO NOT MIX!!!!! Bake this cobbler in a 350 degree oven for 45 - 50 minutes until the top of brown and bubbly. According to Tommy, chef, public relations man, and bottle washer at the Texas Tumbleweed, "If you mix the ingredients in this recipe, you'll blow it."

If you're lucky enough to have some Blue Bell Vanilla Ice Cream, top while warm with a big ol' scoop. We have to substitute with another brand.

Paula Deen's recipe is the hands down best!
