Peach Cobbler

Peach Cobbler is one of my mom's many recipes and one of her most requested!

2 cans of peaches (the size of the can depends on the size of the cobbler you would like to make or you could use fresh peaches (5 or 6 depending on the size) Only you know how "peachy" you want your cobbler.)
1 cup sugar (add more sugar to taste depending on how sweet you would like your cobbler)
1 can evaporated milk
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/2 sticks of butter
1 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla flavor

Open the two (2) cans of peaches place in a saucepan. Mix in sugar, take cornstarch and mix it in well with the can of milk and pour into the peaches stir carefully so you don't break up the peach slices. Add butter, vanilla flavor and nutmeg and let cook for twenty minutes (20) at a low boil (NOT ROLLING or HARD BOIL) so that the cornstarch flavor is cooked out.

Make your pastry dough or you can use store bought dough. My mom makes her cobbler by taking strips of dough into the peach mixture as it cooks (kind of like sweet dumplings). This step is optional. Pour the peach mixture into your baking dish, place your pastry dough over the top, either in strips to or as a whole cover. If you place it over the dish as a whole cover you will need to put slits in your pastry dough to let the steam escape. Brush the dough with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar for a prettier presentation.

Bake at 375 until crust is golden brown, 20 or 30 minutes.

Enjoy!

See ya when I see ya


Peace! Mattie
