Peach Cobbler

Nothing excites me more at the end of August than the arrival of Utah peaches! They are the best and I look forward to them every year. I decided to bust out a cobbler the other night and man was it good! I got this recipe from good 'ole Paula Deen. I even liked it better the second day! And third. And...

Step 1:
5 cups peaches, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
Put all ingredients in saucepan over medium heat. Bring to boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.

1 1/2 cups self-rising flour*
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
6 Tbs. butter
Mix flour and sugar together. Add milk slowly to avoid lumps. Melt butter in 3 quart baking dish in oven. Pour flour mixture over melted butter. DO NOT stir. Spoon peaches on top, gently pouring in syrup. Sprinkle cinnamon on top, if desired. Bake at 350 for 40 - 45 min. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

*If you do not have self-rising flour (like me), mix 1 cup flour with 1/4 tsp. baking soda, 1/4 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. baking powder. I did this then halved it for the half cup.
