- Hi Alexandre!
-
- Here's a basic cobbler recipe for peaches, blueberries, cherries, or plums.
- I also have a number of fruit crisp recipes if you would like something
- with a sweet and crunchy top.
-
- Peach Cobbler
- 1/2 c. sugar 1 c. flour
- 1 Tbl. cornstarch 1 Tbl. sugar
- 1/4 tsp. cinnamon 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 4 c. sliced peaches (about 6 med.) 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. lemon juice 1/2 c. milk
- 3 Tbl. shortening
-
- Heat oven to 400. Mix 1/2 cup sugar, the cornstarch and cinnamon in a
- 2-quart saucepan. Stir in the peaches and lemon juice. Cook, stirring
- constantly, until the mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir for one
- minute. Pour into an ungreased 2-quart casserole; keep hot in the oven.
-
- Cut shortening into flour, 1 Tbl. sugar, the baking powder and salt until
- mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in milk. Drop dough by 6 spoonfuls
- onto hot peach mixture.
-
- Bake until topping is golden brown - about 25-30 minutes. Serve warm
- with cinnamon whipped cream.
-
- For Blueberry - Omit cinnamon. Substitue 4 cups blueberries for peaches.
- For Cherry - Substitue 4 cups pitted red tart cherries for peaches
- and increase sugar in cherry mixture to 1 1/4 cups,
- cornstarch to 3 Tbl. and substitute 1/4 tsp almond
- extract for lemon juice.
- For Plum - Substitute 4 cups sliced plums (about 14 lg.) for the
- peaches. Increase sugar in plum mixture to 3/4 cup
- cornstarch to 3 Tbl. and cinnamon to 1/2 tsp.
-
- Cinnamon Whipped Cream
- Beat 1 cup chilled whipping cream, 3 Tbl. sugar and 1/2 tsp.
- ground cinnamon in a chilled bowl until stiff.
-
- Can't say that I've ever tried any of these, but they're from Betty
- Crocker....How could they go wrong? ;) *Julie* (Eric's wife)
