Peach Cobbler (The Lady & Sons)

Ingredients

8 tbls (1stick) butter

1 cup sugar

¾ cup self-rising flour

¾ cup milk

1 - 28 ounce can sliced peaches in syrup, undrained

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°.

Put butter in deep baking dish and place in oven to melt.

Mix sugar and flour; add milk slowly to prevent lumping.

Pour over melted butter. Do not stir.

Spoon fruit on top, gently pouring syrup. Still do not stir; batter will rise to top during baking.

Bake for 30 to 45 minutes.

Good with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

VARIATION: When available, fresh fruit is wonderful. You may use fresh blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, cherries, apples, peaches, or pears.

Simply clean. Peel and core 2 cups of fruit and mix with 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup water. In a saucepan, bring mixture to a boil and then simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir often, making sure sugar is completely dissolved.

Substitute this for the canned peaches.
