Tuesday afternoon I decided to make one of my most favorite dessert recipes. There aren't many things that WOW me from cookbooks, but this peach cobbler recipe is delightful from an award winning chuckwagon cookbook. My friend, Steph, came over to make a mini cobbler with me and we had a good time cooking away until the scary Tornado storms descended onto the Oklahoma plains, needless to say, I stress ate about half of the cobbler:)
Here is the recipe:
1 Cobbler Crust
1 c. sugar
6 cups of peaches, peeled and sliced (I used canned in it's own juice)
1 c. butter
1 1/4 c. brown sugar
1 T. cinnamon
1/2 c. Jack Daniels Whiskey
1 1/2 c. whipping cream
Preheat oven to 350.
Melt butter in a saucepan and then add peaches, brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, and cream. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 10 minutes. Add whiskey and stir every once in a while. Cook for 20 minutes.
Line a casserole dish with cobbler crust and then pour in fruit mixture. Cover top with either whole crust or strips of crust and bake for 45-50 minutes.
I used round cake pans since we were splitting the recipe and it turned out great!
Cobbler Crust:
2 c. flour
1/2 t. salt
1 t. baking powder
1 t. sugar
6 T. shortening
1/4 c. cold water
Mix dry ingredients, add shortening and cut in with 2 knives or a pastry blender until it looks like corn meal. Add cold water and form into a ball. Roll out on a floured surface and cut into lattice strips.
After I took this photo I took a bite and decided to put it back in the over for 15 more minutes (I cooked it half as long since it was a lot smaller than the normal cobbler) and it was PERFECT!
Great post. I blogged a recipe yesterday. I love to cook. Will have to try this one out.
