Old-Fashioned Jersey Peach Cobbler - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
Dough
4 cups flour
1 cup Crisco
1 cup butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
Cobbler
7 -8 jersey fresh peaches
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons vanilla
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
Preparation
-
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!
