One Cup, One Cup, One Cup Peach Cobbler

[same_sky]

I told carrieb a while back that she should make a peach cobbler for dessert. I think it was when her in-laws were visiting. There is really nothing that is as easy to prepare as this cobbler. She was skeptical that this would turn into any sort of actual baked good when I described it, so I am offering photographic proof. Really, it was all for Carrie that I made a cobbler yesterday, not because I have been craving one for months. Really! Also, I am greatly looking forward to snack time today.

First, the "recipe".

Preheat oven to somewhere around 350. I did 375 because my oven is quirky and last time I made it, it took way too long. Put a stick of butter or margarine in a baking pan. We usually use 9x13 ones. Stick it in the oven until it melts.

Meanwhile, mix together one cup each of sugar, milk and self-rising flour in a bowl. (Hence why we call it one cup, one cup, one cup cobbler.) Although it'll be easier to mix if you do the milk and sugar first.. honestly, it really doesn't matter if there are a few lumps. The batter will be runny and kind of gross. Add a healthy shake of cinnamon. (I guess you could add nutmeg too, but I don't care for it much.) When the butter has melted, remove the pan from the oven and dump the batter on top of it. Open a large can of peaches and spoon them onto the top of the whole mess. Don't put too much syrup in there, though it's not that important that you drain it or anything.

Ta da! It will look like this:

I think we can all agree that that mess is not good eats. Trust me here, and just stick the whole thing in the oven for a while. I baked this one for about fifty minutes, but again, my oven is odd so really, just keep an eye on it after it's been in there a while.

When you pull it out, you will have something that looks like this:

Throw some vanilla ice cream on it and enjoy! Best served warm and bubbly, and hey, there's fruit so you can pretend it's healthy. Save a corner piece for me, would you?

Oh yum! I'm going to have to try this one next time we have people over. I went through all the trouble of making a double crust apple pie yesterday and Robert only ate one piece and won't eat any more. He's so hard to please with sweets, I don't get it.

It's funny that a cobbler is usually a savoury dish where I come from - sort of meat and veges, covered with what we'd call scone, but I think you call biscuit.

This sounds really nice. I could imagine that apples, cherries and blackberries would also be good. Actually, even rhubarb and ginger...

Sounds a lot like what we'd call pot pie in the States. (The UK version of a cobbler, at least.)

Ha! You are so right. I read that and my brain said "wtf???" because I am an internet freak. However! I did believe you! Did I forget to tell you that I made a cobbler for them? Only I used berries (rasp, blue, black) because canned peaches remind me of fish and I don't like to touch or look at them. The cobbler got totally rave reviews. I will do it again.
