Peach Cobbler

  I love all things southern - and it doesn't get more southern than cobbler.  I love most things Paula Deen.  I also love to make big complete meals.  I was making my infamous meatloaf, which I'll post in a sec, because I'm super slow with this computer stuff.  And on a whim I decided to make this.  Go Paula.  It turned out absolutely delish.  I went home to Center and when my Daddy heard about it he begged me to make an Apple one, but their damn backwoods oven caught on fire and burnt up most my cobbler.  If we wouldn't have almost died from the smoke, I'd have taken a picture.  We ate it anyway.  What does that say about us?  With a little ice cream, it wasn't half bad. Had to throw out the pyrex though.  Oops.

1 Stick Butter
1 C sugar
3/4 cup self rising floor (or in my case - 3/4 c regular flour and some baking powder)
3/4 c whole milk (always use whole milk when you need milk or it won't be right)
28 ounches peach pie filling - and to this I added lots of cinnamon

P.S.  I kinda felt like a cheat using the the peach pie filling - but it was so damn good I couldn't stop eating it with a spoon.  Besides it was easy as pie.  Or cobbler, in this case.  If you can't get over the cheating you can also make your own filling with fresh fruit and water and sugar.

Preheat oven to 350.  Melt the butter in the baking dish.  Mix sugar and flour.  Add milk slowly so you don't clump up.   Pour this over melted butter.  Don't stir this.  Spoon the fruit filling over the top of this.  Still don't stir.  The batter will rise to top during baking.  Bake for 30 to 45 minutes.  I like it hot with ice cream on the side.  Duh.

Next time I make this I'll probably double my batter recipe - It's my favorite part.  

The finished product. Ta da.
