I've been working on this all summer, and I think I'm finally getting close to a good recipe. I'm sort of an *** for posting this at the end of peach season, but I figured it might be helpful anyway. It also might work with other fruits, but I haven't tried that yet.
1 Stick unsalted butter
4 large peaches (the fresher the better)
1 handful of brown sugar
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup milk
Blanch your peaches: bring a large pot of water to a boil. When boiling, drop in the peaches. When water returns to a boil, remove the peaches and place into an ice bath (all at once, or one at a time, it doesn't matter). After about a minute, remove peaches and peal off skins. Slice peaches into bite sizes. Put peach slices into a bowl and sprinkle with brown sugar. Mix it up so they coat evenly. Let sit for about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and melt butter in an 8 or 9 inch cast iron skillet.
Sift flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Add milk and stir until well mixed. When butter is melted, pour batter evenly into the skillet. Shake it out to make sure the butter evenly covers the batter. Spoon peaches over the top of the batter. Use some foil to cover the edges of the cobbler as they will cook a lot faster than the middle.
Bake for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, remove foil, bake for another 15 minutes or until top is completely golden brown.
Serve hot with a scoop of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream.
