Peach Cobbler

What is better than summer, sand, sun and peaches.  Growing up we would spend a week in Orange Beach (even though we lived not far away in Pensacola) with my Aunt, Uncle, and Cousin.  We loved spending the days outside splashing in the Gulf, building sand sculptures, and playing hide and go seek in the resort. After the sun was down we would all go in to clean up and eat dinner.  It was a ritual for my Mom and Aunt to put together this peach cobbler early in the week so we could eat on it all week long.

4 cups sliced, fresh peaches

2 ½ -2 cups sugar

1 cup butter

1 ½ c flour

4 teas baking powder

½ teas salt

1 ½ c milk

Mix peaches with 1 ½ c sugar; let stand. Put butter in a 2 quart casserole; place in a 325 oven to melt.  Combine remaining sugar, flour, baking powder, salt and milk. Pour over melted butter. Do not stir Spoon peaches on top of batter. Do not stir. Bake at 325 for 1 hour. Yield 6-8 servings.
