Peach Cobbler

It was Fathers day this past Sunday, so I asked Dad over for a special dinner. We sat down to a feast of hot wings with ranch dipping sauce, smoked BBQ pork ribs, potato salad and yummy grilled corn. I wanted a dessert that fit the meal, so decided on peach cobbler. When the dinner dishes were empty, the scraps piled high and tummys full, the smell of the peach cobbler from the oven made everyone decide they could fit that little bit more.

This quick and easy dessert has become a favourite in our house, we've even eaten it for dinner on more than one occasion. Happy to report that Dad loved it as much as we do, which is a good indicator of how yummy it is considering I'm pretty sure I inherited my sweet tooth from him.
I think my favourite part is that it can make it any time of the year, it doesn't matter if peaches are in season or not because peach cobbler is just as good with either fresh or tinned fruit. Please try it! It takes about five minutes to whip up and if you put it in the oven as you sit down to dinner it will be beautiful and golden by the time you are done. Top the warm peachy, cakey goodness with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and enjoy!

Peach Cobbler (For uninterrupted recipe scroll the the end of post)

For the Peaches
1 large tin peaches (drained)
1/4 cup caster sugar
1 tablespoon custard power or cornflour (or half of each)

For the Topping
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup caster sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup plain flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
pinch salt

To make the Cobbler- Add the peaches, 1/4 cup of the sugar and custard powder/ cornflour in a medium bowl.
Gently mix together and set aside until the sugar has dissolved.
Preheat oven to 180 degrees c.

To make the topping- cream together the butter and 1/2 a cup of the sugar with an electric mixer. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth.
Add the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt mix until all ingredients are combined.
Grease an 8 inch square baking pan (I've also used a pie dish) with butter, spread the peach mixture evenly in the pan.
Drop spoonfuls of the topping over the peaches and roughly spread out.
Bake the cobbler for 30 to 35 minutes until the peaches are bubbling and the top is nicely golden.
Enjoy with vanilla ice cream!
