Old Fashioned Southern Peach Cobbler

SaffronMeSilly's Note:

This recipe has been in my family for 3 generations, and its absolutely delicious and sinful. It is a basic fruit cobbler, so the peaches can be substituted for blackberries, cherries, or anything else. (I forgot to include the 1/2 cup milk in my original post, thanks to the reviewers who spotted the mistake!)

• Total Time: 1 hrs 8 mins
• Prep Time: 8 mins
• Cook Time: 1 hrs

• 2 tablespoons unmelted butter
• 1 1/2 cups canned peaches (up to 2 1/2 cups is okay)

Directions:

1. Blend four, 1 cup sugar, 3 tbsp melted butter, and milk until smooth.
2. Pour into greased 1 1/2 quart baking dish.
3. Pour fruit on top of batter.
4. Sprinkle remaining sugar on top.
5. Dot with remaining butter.

This is similiar to the peach cobbler I grew up eating. The difference is the amount of milk. My mom's recipe called for a cup of milk. This is what I call real peach cobbler, the stuff they serve in restuarants around my neck of the woods looks like peach pie. This is so much better than the peach pie versions especially served hot.

For those who encountered problems with the batter, I would recommend adding 1 cup milk to the flour and sugar in this recipe. I have a very similar one and it is GREAT!! I use fresh or frozen sliced peaches and add coconut a/o pecans or try blueberries for a variety. I melt a stick of butter in a 13x9 inch baking dish.

I just finished taking the out of the oven. I am giving this three stars because the taste is good but the batter thing didn't happen. I was wondering if it is missing an egg. We will still eat it as the taste is delicious but it didn't turn out like I expected.
