Peach Cobbler (Great food storage recipe!)Most people enjoy cobbler as a dessert.
I LOVE it as breakfast - yup, served with the ice cream.
(We generally double this recipe for a 9 x 13 pan)
1/2 c. sugar
1 Tblsp. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
4 cups sliced peaches OR 1 quart canned peaches
1 tsp. lemon juice
3 Tblsp. shortening
1 cup flour
1 Tblsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. milk

- Mix 1/2 cup sugar, the cornstarch and cinnamon in a 2 quart saucepan (larger pan if doubling). Stir in peaches and lemon juice. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils, Boil and stir one minute. Pour into ungreased 2-quart (or 9 x 13) pan. Keep peach mixture warm in oven.
- Cut shortening into flour, 1 Tablespoon sugar, the baking powder and salt in medium bowl, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in milk. Drop dough by 6 spoonfuls onto hot peach mixture.
