Best 5 Contest Winning Peach Cobbler Recipes

PEACH COBBLER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Peel, pit and slice the peaches. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan. Add the sliced peaches and 1/2 cup sugar. Stir in 2 tablespoons of flour and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until soft and syrupy.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the remaining 1 cup sugar with the remaining 1 cup flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in the milk until combined.
• Add 8 tablespoons of butter to a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and place it in the oven. When the butter is melted, reserve 1/3 cup of the batter and set aside. Add the rest of the batter to the pan, using a spatula to spread it out as much as you can. It will not fully cover the bottom of the pan. That's O.K.
• Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the top of the batter. Using a clean spoon, dollop small bits of the reserved batter over the peaches, and spread around a bit with the back of the spoon. (It will not fully cover the peaches. Again, that's O.K.!)
• Bake for about 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, if desired.

THE BEST PEACH COBBLER

Steps:

• For the filling: Put the peaches, sugar, cinnamon, salt and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the peach juices begin to boil. Lower to a simmer and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• For the batter: Put the butter in a 2-quart baking dish and place it in the oven while it preheats. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Stir the vanilla into the milk in a liquid measuring cup. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while whisking until well combined.
• Remove the baking dish from the oven and pour the batter in an even layer over the melted butter. Spoon the peaches along with their juices evenly over the top of the batter. Bake until the cobbler is golden brown on top and the peach juices are bubbling, 35 to 45 minutes.
• Let cool to room temperature before serving.

AWARD-WINNING 9-FINGER PEACH COBBLER

Steps:

• Warm the Dutch oven, but do not get it too hot. To test the temperature, get someone else to pick it up out of the fire. IF they yell a lot, stuff their fingers in their mouth, jump around a lot, and revert back to their native tongue, it is probably too hot.
• Pour peaches into the bottom of the dutch oven. Reach in and carefully fish out the can lid you dropped inches Do not put the empty peach can in the oven, there is a limit to how much dietary fiber people can tolerate!
• Open the can of cream soda and pour it gently over the peaches. When you pour the pop on the peaches, use your good hand (the one with four fingers) in a gentle counter clock-wise motion if north of the equator, or clock-wise if south of the equator. It helps to hum a little tune and do a gentle rocking motion with your upper body. We call this technique the 'Swirl from Epanema".
• Dump cake mix evenly on top of the peach and pop concoction. Get a small stick and wipe in on your friends pants. Poke the stick into the mix with your bad hand (the one with five fingers). You may poke, but you must not stir. This is very important.
• Sprinkle the cinnamon on top of the dry cake mix. Best to use your good hand with the missing finger and let the cinnamon trickle out the hole where a finger used to be. You want a dry top and a soggy bottom, king of like your condition after sit on the ground after a rainstorm.
• Put small pats of butter evenly on the top of the dry cake mix. If you have guests who are concerned about too much fat intake, put it on anyway. The great taste of butter with its ill effects far outweigh the negligible benefits of a long and healthy life.
• Put the lid on the oven (not the peach can lid, but the Dutch oven lid). This is very important, because if you forget this step and put charcoal directly on the cobbler it tends to have a nasty flavor. If you forget the lid, just feed the cobbler to Scouts. They will probably not notice any difference compared to what you've fed them before.
• Place the oven on a nice bed of coals. Place coals on top of the lid.
• Cook for about 45 minutes, give or take 10. The bubbling of the liquid will mix the cake and liquid and produce a nice brown crust with gooey bottom.
• When finished, open the lid, savor the aroma and dish up the treat to all those who appreciate good cookings.
• Enjoy!
