Peach Cobbler

Peach Cobbler (Great food storage recipe!)

Most people enjoy cobbler as a dessert.


I LOVE it as breakfast - yup, served with the ice cream.

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

1. Heat oven to 400°
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until topping is golden brown. Serve warm and, if desired, with ice cream.
5. Optional - add 1/2 to 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries with peaches in step 1.

4 Tablespoons margarine or butter
6 medium or large eggs

1 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cooked ground sausage

While the oven is pre-heating, place margarine in a heavy metal pan (glass can be substituted if needed) and, put pan in oven so pan can heat and margarine can melt.

While margarine is melting, put all other ingredients, except sausage, in blender and blend well, scraping edges of blender as necessary.

As soon as oven is pre-heated, give blender one more quick pulse, then pour egg batter into the middle of the melted margarine.

Sprinkle cooked ground sausage over egg batter.
Bake for 20-25 minutes. Pancake will be puffy and brown when finished, but should not be dry.
