Peach Cobbler

Peach Cobbler

2 to 3 cups sliced peaches
1 3/4 cups sugar, divided
3 tbsp. butter, softened
1/2 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt, divided
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1 cup boiling water

Options: add blueberries, raspberries or blackberries with the peaches - YUMMY!!

• Place peaches and other berries if desired in a 9x9x2 inch baking pan.
• Combine 3/4 cup sugar and butter, beating until smooth.
• Add milk, flour, baking powder and 1/4 tsp. salt (I usually don't add the salt) to creamed mixture and mix until smooth. Pour batter over peaches.
• Combine 1 cup sugar, 1/4 tsp. salt (again I don't do this) and cornstarch. Sprinkle over batter.
• Pour boiling water over batter.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour.

Serve warm with ice cream. It can be easily warmed in the oven or microwave.
