Old Fashioned Jersey Peach Cobbler Recipes

OLD-FASHIONED PEACH COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drain peaches and set them aside.
• Melt the stick of butter in an 8x8 baking dish (I just stick it in the oven while it is preheating).
• Mix together the flour, sugar, and teaspoon of cinnamon until blended. Pour in milk and stir until blended again. After butter is melted, take the dish out of the oven and pour the batter on top of the butter, DON'T STIR.
• Use a big spoon to set your peach slices down all over the top of the cobbler dough, DON'T STIR. They will sink down and it will all be fine. Just distribute them as best you can but don't move them around once you set them down.
• If you want, sprinkle about a tablespoon of sugar and another teaspoon of cinnamon over the top of your peach mixture. Sometimes I do this, sometimes I don't.
• Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until it's set in the center and golden brown on top. Let it cool and thicken for about 30 minutes before serving with vanilla ice cream.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, and salt. Work in the shortening with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and cold water. Sprinkle over flour mixture, and work with hands to form dough into a ball. Chill 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Roll out half of dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Place in a 9x13 inch baking dish, covering bottom and halfway up sides. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
• In a large saucepan, mix the peaches, lemon juice, and orange juice. Add 1/2 cup butter, and cook over medium-low heat until butter is melted. In a mixing bowl, stir together 2 cups sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cornstarch; mix into peach mixture. Remove from heat, and pour into baked crust.
• Roll remaining dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Cut into half-inch-wide strips. Weave strips into a lattice over peaches. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
• Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until top crust is golden brown.

Steps:

• Mix the dough ingredients well with an electric mixer. The dough will need to sit in the fridge overnight, or you can freeze it for up to 3 months. There is enough dough to make about 1.5 cobbler recipes -- I don't modify the recipe for 1 cobbler because then you would need 2/3 of an egg or a small egg, and who buys those?.
• Preheat oven to 350.
• Peel the skin off the peaches and slice them. If you can't peel the peaches easily, they aren't ripe enough. You don't want them mushy though, just soft enough.
• Mix the peaches and the rest of the cobbler ingredients softly and throughly. Be sure not to smash the peaches!
• Pour cobbler ingredients into an 8x12 pan.
• Take pieces of dough in chunks of about 1T and push into cobbler. You want the chunks of dough to be pretty evenly distributed in the pan. Leave a little bit of room inbetween the chunks.
• Bake 50-55 minutes at 350.
• Serve warm with ice cream or refrigerate and sever chilled. Divine!
