Easy Peach Cobbler

I didn’t feel like making dinner last night so I asked the kids if they wanted dessert instead.  Um, duh, was pretty much the response I got.  So I searched for a recipe and came up with a combination of recipes and a couple tweeks.  It turned out soooo good I thought I would share it. First thing though:  the pan I used I call a “big 9 x 13″ so technically it’s not a 9 x 13 as Gina pointed out but something a bit bigger and short of searching for a ruler we’re just gonna stick with that.  Okay?

1. Turn oven on to 375
2. Put 1 and 1/2 sticks butter in “9 x13″
3. Put in oven
4. In a bowl mix 2 cups flour, 2 cups sugar, 3 teaspoons baking powder
5. Add 1-1/2  to 2 cups milk (think pancake consistency). Mix
6. Take pan of melted butter out of oven.
7. Here’s the optional part:  Sprinkle 1/2 cup or so rolled oats into the butter and about 1/2 cup of ground nuts.  I used hemp seed but I think pecans or almonds would be good too.
8. Spoon batter into pan.
9. Lay a single layer of peach slices on top of batter.  I used 2 pint jars of peaches that I put up this spring.  You might need to adjust amount depending on your pan and how many peaches you want.
10. Pour a thin layer of peach juice on top 1/4 – 1/2 cup.
11. Sprinkle generously with sugar.
12. Sprinkle cinnamon on top if you like.
13. Bake 40 minutes or till golden brown

I’ve got another twist for this up my sleeve.  I’ll let you know how it turns out.

Enjoy!
