Buttermilk Peach Cobbler

Ingredients:

2 - cups fresh peaches, peeled & sliced

1 - stick (1/2 cup) real butter, melted

1 - cup self-rising flour

1 - cup sugar, plus extra to sprinkle on fruit

1 - cup buttermilk, well shaken

1 - teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Blanch the peaches then peel and slice them. (I have added the blanching directions in the printable recipe below)

After slicing sprinkle them with a bit of sugar (about 1/2 cup) and set aside.

Place a stick of butter in a 9x9 inch baking dish or a casserole dish of equivalent size. Place in the oven and let the butter melt while the oven is preheating.

Meanwhile, stir by hand the self-rising flour, sugar, buttermilk and vanilla extract. Stir it well, but it will look slightly lumpy. Remove the melted butter from the oven. Place your fruit in the dish.

You should completely cover the bottom of the dish with the fruit. Then pour the batter on top of the fruit, making sure to pour it evenly around the dish. Don’t forget the corners!

Bake for about 30-40 minutes, or until the top is a golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipping cream.

I really dont think it matters if you add the batter first or the fruit first. It really is your own preference.
