Daddy's Favorite Peach Cobbler

When I was first learning to cook, I read every recipe I could find. Here is a recipe that I found when I was 15 in the Today paper (published by Coast Electric Power). I first made it for my dad on Father's Day. Being from Savannah, GA, my dad loved peaches and he loved this. I made it for him on his last Father's Day with us in 2005. I also made it for him two weeks before he passed away. I cherish that smile he had on his face as he ate this cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
This recipe is so very easy. Try it; you will love it.


1 large can of sliced peaches in juice
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup of whole milk (do not use reduced fat)
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 stick (1/2 cup) of unsalted butter.

Place stick of butter in a glass 9x13 dish. Place in oven while it is preheating to 350 degrees. Butter will melt while oven is heating. Mix by hand flour, sugar, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg in a large bowl. Once oven has reached temperature, remove dish and make sure butter is melted. Pour batter on top of melted butter. Then pour peaches and juice on top of batter. Do not stir. Peaches will slowly fall to the bottom and batter will rise to the top while baking. Bake 35-40 minutes. Watch the sides of the cobbler; sometimes I place foil around the sides when they start to bake faster than middle. Cobbler is done when toothpick inserted in the middle is slightly wet.
