Old Fashioned Peach Cobbler Recipe 395

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, and salt. Work in the shortening with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and cold water. Sprinkle over flour mixture, and work with hands to form dough into a ball. Chill 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Roll out half of dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Place in a 9x13 inch baking dish, covering bottom and halfway up sides. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
• In a large saucepan, mix the peaches, lemon juice, and orange juice. Add 1/2 cup butter, and cook over medium-low heat until butter is melted. In a mixing bowl, stir together 2 cups sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cornstarch; mix into peach mixture. Remove from heat, and pour into baked crust.
• Roll remaining dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Cut into half-inch-wide strips. Weave strips into a lattice over peaches. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
• Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until top crust is golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F ( 205 degrees C).
• Submerge peaches in boiling water for about 1 minute. The amount of time required to make the skin easy to peel varies with the degree of ripeness: if really ripe, it may take less time. Remove peaches with a slotted spoon, and run cold water on them. Slip off the skin. Cut peaches into wedges, and place in either a deep 10 inch pie plate or a 2 inch deep 2 quart baking dish. Toss peaches with lemon juice and 1/2 cup sugar. Cover with foil.
• Bake 15 minutes, or until the peaches are hot and bubbly
• Whisk together flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles small peas. Pour buttermilk over top, and toss with a fork until the mixture clumps together. Drop heaping tablespoons of dough over the peaches. In a small cup, mix 2 teaspoons sugar and nutmeg. Sprinkle over biscuits.
• Bake until biscuits are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Set dish on wire rack to cool 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the butter in a large casserole dish or cast-iron skillet and place in the oven to melt, 5 to 7 minutes. If the peaches are not juicy and sweet, sprinkle them with some of the sugar and set aside.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add the remaining sugar, the milk and vanilla extract; whisk until evenly blended.
• Remove the dish from the oven and add the melted butter to the batter. Then, immediately pour the batter all at once back into the dish. Add the peaches and any juices into the center of the batter. Gently shake the dish to evenly distribute the peaches.
• Return to the oven and bake until the top is golden brown and a cake tester poked into the batter comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature with freshly whipped cream or ice cream.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Stir in peaches. Cook and stir over medium heat for 5-8 minutes or until thickened. Pour into a greased 1-qt. baking dish., In a bowl, combine biscuit mix and sugar. Stir in the milk and oil just until moistened. Drop by spoonfuls over peaches. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
