Praline Peach Cobbler - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 c. plus 2 tsp. sugar, divided
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
8 c. sliced, peeled fresh peaches
2 c. self-rising flour
1/2 c. buttermilk
3 Tbsp. margarine, melted
1/4 c. packed brown sugar
1 c. chopped pecans
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. water
1/2 c. shortening

Preparation

In a saucepan, mix 1 1/2 cups sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and water.
Stir until smooth.
Add peaches. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more.
Pour into a lightly greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish. Set aside.
In a bowl, combine flour and remaining sugar. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add buttermilk and stir just until moistened.
If needed, add additional buttermilk, one tablespoon at a time, until dough clings together. Turn onto a floured surface.
Knead gently 6 to 8 times.
Roll into a 12 x 8-inch rectangle. Combine butter, brown sugar and pecans. Spread over the dough to within 1/2-inch of the edges. Starting with long sides, roll up jelly roll fashion. Cut into 12 pieces 1-inch each.
Place on top of the peach mixture. Bake at 400\u00b0 for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Yields 12 servings.
