Harvest is in full swing here in the south, including one of my summer time favorites – PEACHES! Lester Farms is selling peaches now  and I can think of no easier dessert to whip up with them than a good old fashioned southern peach cobbler.  You can have one ready to pop into the oven in the time it takes for it to preheat.

• 3/4 cup plain flour (or Bob’s Gluten Free Baking Mix)
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 6 Tablespoons butter
• 2 cups fresh peeled and sliced peaches (or apples or blackberries)
• 3/4 cup sugar

Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk in a medium sized bowl and set aside.  In a 2 quart baking dish, add the melted butter.  Peel and slice the peaches, then toss in a separate bowl with remaining sugar.  Add a dash of nutmeg or cinnamon if desired.  Pour flour/milk mixture into the baking dish with melted butter.  Then pour the sliced, sweetened peaches evenly over batter/butter mixture. DO NOT STIR!  Bake in 350 degree preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until cobbler is golden brown and cooked thoroughly.  Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.  This recipe can also be cooked in an iron skillet, making a beautiful southern presentation.  For a gluten free recipe, substitute Bob’s Gluten Free Baking Mix for the flour.
