Texas Peach Cobbler

After the Onion Tart ordeal, I knew I had to whip something up to say "thank you for putting up with my desire to make onion tart" dessert.  Peach cobbler to the rescue!!  Again, I turned to my favorite new cookbook!
For the filling, you'll need:
  • 4 pounds of ripe peaches
  • 1 tbs sugar
  • 1 1/2 tbs flour



Now the cookbook said to put the peaches in boiling water for 10-15 seconds and "slip off the skin" - not as easy as it sounds!  It worked well for 1 out of the 7 peaches, so have any of you done this before and can offer tips?  It wasn't hard to peel the skins off so this extra step wasn't much of a timesaver.  Anyway...

After slicing, pitting, and peeling all the peaches, I mixed them with sugar and flour and put them in my baking dish.

Then I used the recipe for Cream Biscuits, but added 4 tsp sugar (maybe a little more :), rolled it out, and cut out the topping - can you tell what it is??  I put in extra pieces just to use up the topping.  And I just felt like cutting the biscuit topping into shapes.  Because I knew my husband would roll his eyes and laugh.  Which he did.  Mission Accomplished.

Bake at 375 for 40-55 minutes, until golden brown and fruit is bubbling in dish.  It smelled SOOOOO yummy!

And tasted even better with some Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla.  Pure deliciousness.  Enjoy!
