Peaches Peaches Peaches

mmmm yummmmy
can I have a taste?

You think eating peaches is icky?
Well.... how about peach pie?

Here is a recipe for my mommie's Peach Cobbler

Ingredients:
~1/2 cup white sugar
~1 and 1/2 sticks (so that would be 3/4 cup... as 8 tblsp are 1/2 cup=1 stick) of butter or margarine
~About 2 cups of Self Rising Flour
~1 medium egg
~A whole lot of peaches... say, at least, about 9 medium size
~for peaches in the bowl: another half cup sugar, cinnamon and Instant Vanilla Pudding (Such as Jello instant package, in it's dry state, right out of the package)
~a 9x9 square pyrex dish or something similar do not grease it
~Preheat oven to 325 degrees

Preparation: ~cut up the peaches into nice chunks not slices. 1 inch squares, bite size... keep the skin on.

~Put the peaches in a medium size bowl and set aside...
~In a nice big bowl, mix together the butter and sugar until creamy then add the egg, mix.
~Add flour a little at a time, keep mixing in more until (it feels like firm playdoh) you can handle it with floured fingers. (these are Blizzie's piano hands)

~take about 1/5 of the dough off and save on a dry plate. (keep the flour out, you will need it)


~Press the rest of the dough evenly into the 9x9 dish.
~Set that aside
~dump the pile of peaches into the big bowl that you mixed the dough in,
~to the bowl of peaches, sprinkle 1/2 cup sugar and two Tablespoons Instant vanilla pudding, then toss gently with a spoon to sort of get them coated.
~Dump the peaches into the dish. Spread them around, if it is too high then use your hands and gently smash the peaches down so they are nice and cozy, esp the corners. If you have way too many and they are falling out... give them to hubby to eat (guys never eat enough fruit)... you don't want the peaches falling out of the dish.
~Sprinkle with cinnamon, as much as you like.
~Divide the left over dough into 6 balls, then with flour make some strips, don't try to get fancy, just kind of roll and mold something, flatten and lay it across the top. Use flour for easier handling. You should be able to get 3 going each way. Don’t bother weaving, the “weaving police” never show up for peach cobblers. Besides, if they do, the peachy cinnamon aroma will over whelm them.
~BAKE for 50 minutes.
let cool one hour before eating. Refrigerate leftovers.

My mommie wrote this recipe so if your beans have questions about it, then just let them ask in the comments section here :-)
