OLD-FASHIONED SOUTHERN PEACHES & DUMPLINGS? RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Old-Fashioned Southern Peaches & Dumplings? Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 13

PEACHES:
3 (29-ounce) cans sliced peaches in heavy syrup (I used Delmonte)
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cans water (use a peach can)
Juice from one large lemon (4 to 5 tablespoons)
6 tablespoons salted butter, cut into cubes
DUMPLING DOUGH:
3 cups self-rising flour (I used Gold Medal)
1/2 cup vegetable shortening (I used Crisco)
3/4 to 1 cup ice cold water, as needed

Steps:

  • Measure the flour and shortening into a large mixing bowl and place bowl in the freezer until needed. Set a colander in a large pot or Dutch oven and add the peaches to the colander, straining the liquid into the pot. Set peaches aside for now. To the pot of liquid, whisk in the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, water, lemon juice, and butter cubes. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; then reduce heat to medium and cook for about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, make the Dumplings: Remove bowl from freezer and cut the shortening into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter until you get a mealy consistency (fine crumbs). Gradually, drizzle in ice water while stirring, just enough for the dough to come together and form a ball. Divide the dough into 2 pieces. After the peach liquid has boiled for 25 minutes, add the peaches to it and bring back to a boil over medium-high heat. When boiling, reduce heat to medium and let cook until the dumplings are ready to drop. On a floured surface, roll out one of the balls of dough to about 1/8-inch thick. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into long strips about 1 1/2-inch wide; then cut each strip crosswise into 1 1/2-inch squares. Repeat steps for the other ball of dough. Start dropping the dumplings into the boiling peaches and syrup; gently pushing them down into syrup with the back of a spoon. When all the dumplings have been added, let cook for about 25 minutes, frequently pushing dumplings down into the syrup. When done, the dumplings should look somewhat translucent and the syrup is thickened. Serve warm or cold with whipping cream or chilled evaporated milk poured over it, topped with prepared whipped cream (or Cool Whip), or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. NOTE: If your dumplings are a bit thick, you might need to cover the pot and cook for about 10 minutes, then finish cooking uncovered. I did not cover mine since I wanted the syrup to thicken more.

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 11

9 fresh peaches
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
½ cup white sugar
1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup butter, chilled
⅔ cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons white sugar
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F ( 205 degrees C).
  • Submerge peaches in boiling water for about 1 minute. The amount of time required to make the skin easy to peel varies with the degree of ripeness: if really ripe, it may take less time. Remove peaches with a slotted spoon, and run cold water on them. Slip off the skin. Cut peaches into wedges, and place in either a deep 10 inch pie plate or a 2 inch deep 2 quart baking dish. Toss peaches with lemon juice and 1/2 cup sugar. Cover with foil.
  • Bake 15 minutes, or until the peaches are hot and bubbly
  • Whisk together flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles small peas. Pour buttermilk over top, and toss with a fork until the mixture clumps together. Drop heaping tablespoons of dough over the peaches. In a small cup, mix 2 teaspoons sugar and nutmeg. Sprinkle over biscuits.
  • Bake until biscuits are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Set dish on wire rack to cool 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Time 2h10m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening
1 egg
¼ cup cold water
3 pounds fresh peaches - peeled, pitted, and sliced
¼ cup lemon juice
¾ cup orange juice
½ cup butter
2 cups white sugar
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, and salt. Work in the shortening with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and cold water. Sprinkle over flour mixture, and work with hands to form dough into a ball. Chill 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Roll out half of dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Place in a 9x13 inch baking dish, covering bottom and halfway up sides. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • In a large saucepan, mix the peaches, lemon juice, and orange juice. Add 1/2 cup butter, and cook over medium-low heat until butter is melted. In a mixing bowl, stir together 2 cups sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cornstarch; mix into peach mixture. Remove from heat, and pour into baked crust.
  • Roll remaining dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Cut into half-inch-wide strips. Weave strips into a lattice over peaches. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until top crust is golden brown.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Fruit: Select ripe, in-season fruit for the best flavor and texture. Firm fruits like apples and pears hold their shape well, while softer fruits like peaches and berries break down and create a juicy filling.
  • Make a Flavorful Filling: Enhance the natural sweetness of the fruit by adding a touch of sugar, spices, and citrus zest. Experiment with different combinations to create a unique flavor profile.
  • Create a Thick and Glossy Sauce: To achieve a thick and glossy sauce, use a combination of cornstarch or flour and water. Whisk until smooth and add it to the boiling fruit mixture. Simmer until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  • Prepare the Dumplings: For light and fluffy dumplings, use self-rising flour and buttermilk. Mix until just combined to avoid tough dumplings. Drop the dumplings gently onto the simmering fruit filling.
  • Cook until Golden Brown: Bake the cobbler in a preheated oven until the dumplings are golden brown and the filling is bubbling. The cooking time may vary depending on the type of fruit and the size of the baking dish.

Conclusion:

Indulge in the nostalgic flavors of an old-fashioned cobbler with dumplings, a classic dessert that combines the sweetness of fruit, the richness of dumplings, and the warmth of spices. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow steps, this recipe is perfect for home cooks of all skill levels.
