INGREDIENTS
•
Peaches
•
1 1/2 to 2 lbs fresh peaches (about 3 or 4 large peaches), peeled, pitted and sliced, to equal 3 to 4 cups. (If peaches are very juicy, reduce water in recipe to 1/4 cup)
•
3/4 cup dark brown sugar (I also made one mixing dark and light brown sugar – 6 tablespoons of each – equally good)
•
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) butter
•
1/2 cup water
•
Batter (The batter that rises to the top is thinner than your usual cobbler topping. If you want a thicker topping double the batter and increase baking time by about 5 minutes, or until golden.)
•
1 stick of butter, melted in the baking dish (I used an 8 x 8-inch glass square)
•
1 cup flour
•
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1/2 cup sugar
•
1 cup milk (if you want a thicker crust, use only 1/2 cup milk)
•
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
