Burrer's Peach Cobbler

This has been a family staple at the Underwood house for years. While this is usually a task we put my Dad up to, I just made it the first time myself this past week. The outside gets perfectly crisp and the inside is soft & gooey! AMAZING. It is best served warm... and a little whipped cream or vanilla ice cream never hurt anyone!

Burrer's Peach Cobbler adapted modestly via the Smokestack Lightning Cookbook:

(Serves 8)

4-5 cups tree ripened peaches (May substitute drained, canned peaches if necessary)

1/4 lb. melted butter

1 cup flour

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

2 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1 cup buttermilk

cinnamon & nutmeg to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter & flour a 9x13 baking dish. Pour melted butter into dish. In a saucepan, slowly cook peaches with 1/2 cup of brown sugar until soft. Add cinnamon & nutmeg to taste. Combine flour with remaining brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk in buttermilk and pour mixture into pan over butter. Gently pour cooked peaches evenly over batter. Cook for 45 minutes or until golden brown.

Peach Pie with Candied Pecan Topping

This is a PIE! Not sure how I came up with this hankering, but it was no mistake. Shared this with my Dad & Tammy, and they also were not disappointed. What can I say... I aim to please!

*note: ignore the author's comment about not liking Better Homes & Gardens. It is a GREAT cookbook, and a quintessential necessity to any cook's collection, ...in my humble opinion.
