Georgia Peach Cobbler Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F Lightly grease an 8x8x2-inch baking pan. Prepare the filling by combining the sugar, cornstarch and syrup in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the mixture boils and is thick. Add the canned peaches and almond extract. Keep the filling warm while you prepare the topping.
• To prepare the topping, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon. Cut in the margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine the egg and milk in a small bowl, and stir into flour mixture just until moistened. Pour the filling into the prepared pan. Drop the topping into 6 mounds on top of the hot filling. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into topping comes out clean. Serve warm with whipped topping or ice cream, if desired.

Steps:

• Blanch and peel peaches; cut them in half; remove the pits, and slice them coarse.
• Note: to blanch peaches-have ready a large bowl of ice-cold water, a slotted spoon, and a saucepan of boiling water deep enough to cover the peaches; with the slotted spoon place the peaches in the boiling water, two or three at a time (if the peaches are fully ripe, they will need only about 15 seconds in the boiling water, if not quite ripe, they will need more); with the slotted spoon, raise a peach from the water and move your thumb firmly over the skin; if the skin has loosened enough it will wrinkle and feel loose; at that point transfer it to the ice water; peel with your fingers, starting at the stem end.
• Place sliced peaches in a 3-quart saucepan with the sugar, butter, and water; stir briefly over med-high heat just until the mixture comes to a boil; remove from the heat and set aside.
• Adjust oven rack to the middle of the oven; preheat to 375°.
• Generously butter a shallow ovenproof baking dish with at least a 2-quart capacity; it can be larger but not smaller.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
• In a small bowl, beat the butter with the vanilla and almond extract; beat in the sugar to mix.
• On low speed add in half of the milk, then half of the sifted dry ingredients, the remainder of the milk then the remainder of the dry ingredients, scraping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed and beating only until mixed.
• Pour the batter into the baking dish and spread it smooth.
• With a large slotted spoon, place the prepared peaches evenly over the batter (reserve the peach syrup for the moment); place the dish in the oven.
• Now, pouring the peach syrup (it will be thin) over the fruit will be easier if you pour it in two additions into a 2-cup measuring cup, then reach into the oven and quickly pour it over the top of the fruit in the baking dish.
• Place a cookie sheet on a rack below the baking dish to catch spills.
• Bake for 20 minutes; then decrease temperature to 325° and bake for 25 minutes.
• Serve immediately or within 20-30 minutes on large flat plates or in dessert bowls, spooning some of the thickened syrup from the bottom over or alongside each portion.
• Serve plain or with ice cream.

Steps:

• For the filling: Put the peaches, sugar, cinnamon, salt and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the peach juices begin to boil. Lower to a simmer and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• For the batter: Put the butter in a 2-quart baking dish and place it in the oven while it preheats. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Stir the vanilla into the milk in a liquid measuring cup. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while whisking until well combined.
• Remove the baking dish from the oven and pour the batter in an even layer over the melted butter. Spoon the peaches along with their juices evenly over the top of the batter. Bake until the cobbler is golden brown on top and the peach juices are bubbling, 35 to 45 minutes.
• Let cool to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Drain 1 can of peaches; reserve the syrup from the other. Place the butter in a 9- by 12-inch ovenproof baking dish. Heat the butter on the stove or in the oven until it's melted. In a medium bowl, mix the flour and sugar. Stir in the milk and the reserved syrup. Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Arrange the peaches over the batter. Bake for 1 hour. The cobbler is done when the batter rises around the peaches and the crust is thick and golden brown. Serve warm with fresh whipped cream
• Chill a large metal mixing bowl and the wire beater attachment in the freezer for about 20 minutes. Pour the chilled cream and sugar into the cold mixing bowl and beat until it forms soft peaks, about 5 minutes. The mixture should hold its shape when dropped from a spoon. Don't overbeat or you'll have sweetened butter!

Steps:

• Combine the peaches, cinnamon, and granulated sugar in a large bowl and toss to coat evenly. Transfer to the slow cooker.
• Combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, and butter in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the mixture is the consistency of coarse cornmeal. Add the pecans and stir in with a spoon. Spread the crumble evenly over the peaches.
• Cover and cook on high for about 2 hours, until the peaches are tender, the juices are bubbling around the sides, and the topping is cooked through.

Steps:

• Mix peach slices with 3/4 cup sugar, set aside.
• Pour butter in 8 inch square baking dish.
• Mix flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and remaining sugar.
• Stir in milk, until just combined.
• Pour over butter.
• Top with peaches.
• Bake at 375* for 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8X11 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. In a medium-size mixing bowl coarsely mix 3/4 cup of the sugar, the flour, and 1/4 cup melted butter together. Sprinkle about one-third of this mixture on the bottom of the baking dish.
• Add the peaches and juice. (If the juice from the peaches does not cover the peaches, add a small amount of water just to cover the peaches. Too little liquid will make the cobbler dry. Too much liquid will make it soupy.)
• Top the peaches with the remaining sugar/flour mixture. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and the remaining 1/4 cup butter. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until brown and bubbly. Serve hot! ***HINT: Fresh peaches can be used. When using fresh peaches, peel and slice them, sprinkling the slices with an additional 1/2 cup sugar. Refrigerate them for 2 to 3 hours before using. ***ALSO: If you do not have self-rising flour, you may substitute all-purpose flour. For every 1 cup of self-rising flour needed mix together: 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp baking soda

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 425*F.
• 2. In a large bowl, combine peaches, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly, and pour into a 2 quart baking dish. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.
• 3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine flour, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Blend in butter with your fingertips, or a pastry blender, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in water until just combined.
• 4. Remove peaches from oven, and drop spoonfuls of topping over them. Sprinkle entire cobbler with the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Bake until topping is golden, about 30 minutes.
• My Note: You should note however the amount of baking powder - this is a very "cake-like" cobbler. Also, the amount of cinammon-sugar on the top makes it very hard to tell when it is "golden brown". "very thin" slices of peach also lead to a less chunky peachy cobbler than I really like, so you may want to make your slices reasonably substantial if you want good sized chunks of peach.
• I would include details on peeling the peaches for newbies. Place the peaches in boiling water for about 60 seconds, remove and plunge into cold water. The skins should slip right off. if you use salted butter cut back on the amount of salt that the recipe calls for by half otherwise the recipe will be really salty. Second, instead of baking it for thirty minutes cut that time in half otherwise it will be over done. Third, instead of 6 tablespoons of butter add 8 tablespoons.
• A suggestions to improve it though. First, I used fresh peaches from my son's Georgia peach tree - some of them were quite under-ripe - and the recipe still came out very sweet. I will definitely make this again, but I will use a bit less sugar in the fruit and in the topping. Second, while the topping is super tasty (if a bit sweet), there's not enough of it! It doesn't need to be doubled but maybe 50% more topping would be great.
• I tried boiling the peaches to peel them, as suggested, but that didn't quite work out. Instead, I just peeled them with a knife, which worked out just fine and wasn't a hassle at all. When choosing peaches, be sure that they do not have any green on the skin -- this means the fruit hadn't developed before being picked, and it won't get any sweeter afterwards. The crust is unbelievable. When you pour in the boiling hot water, it immediately puffs up into a thick dough. This bakes into a thick, crumb-cake-like topping. The sugar amounts can be adjusted as desired. I found it to be just right. It is incredible with a scoop of vanilla or butter pecan ice cream (or both). My "southern" gentleman companion, who has had his share of peach cobblers, really enjoyed it!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease a baking dish with a little butter, then lay the drained peach slices in the base. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp of the sugar and the ground ginger and set aside.
• Tip the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and a pinch of salt into a food processor. Whizz until combined, then add the cubes of butter, pulse until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs, then add the egg and continue to blitz until it comes together to make a thick dough.
• Spoon the dough in dollops on top of the peaches, creating a good covering, but leave some gaps for the dough to spread into. Sprinkle with a little caster sugar then bake for 40 mins, until golden. Serve with scoops of vanilla ice cream.
