Peach Cobbler (Edited)***

I've thought long and hard about the first recipe. And I realized today that it needed to be one of Mom's. This one was probably Dad's favorite, the tradition was that he would always be the first taster. Dad had a huge sweet tooth. The rest of the tradition is that he always tasted a corner, Mom made her cobbler in a 13 x 9 baking pan and we always knew that Dad had found it because the rectangle was always missing (at least) one corner! So, here goes. It's easy. It's good.

Peach Cobbler

350 degrees, 30 minutes, 9 x 13 pan

1 Cup Flour
1 Cup Sugar
3 Teaspoons Baking Powder

Mix above ingredients. Add:

1 stick melted butter

On top of mixture, pour 1 large can of peaches (can use other fruit).

5 minutes before it is done, sprinkle top with sugar and cinnamon. Put back in oven for remaining 5 minutes.

Mom probably used oleo, margarine to all the non-Texans. I don't know if the healthy version would work since some of them are not really good to cook with. You can also use other fruit besides peach. And I would suggest experimenting with fresh or frozen fruit but I'm not sure of the amounts.

And it's also very good if served still warm and topped with ice cream.

***Froggy had slightly different instructions than the one I had, both recipes are from our mother and she probably just left something out when she was writing it out for me.  Here's Froggy's addition:

In the pan you are going to bake the cobbler in, put 1 stick of "butter". preheat oven. While oven is preheating, place pan

in oven and let butter melt. While it is melting mix the other ingredients, except for peaches.

Pour your mixed ingredients into the melted butter. Make sure it covers entire pan. Then put the peaches all over the pan. Then cook. 5 minutes before it is done, put a mixture of cinnamon and sugar over the cobbler.

(Someone has to eat one corner out by being sneaky. That is when we say that the mouse has been in the cobbler.)
