Need help...

The definition of cobbler can mean different things depending on where you're from. Here is the
recipe my mom always used.

2 tablespoons butter 1 cup flour 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 cup milk pinch of salt 4
cups sliced peaces (fresh or canned)

Set oven to 375 degrees. Soften butter and spread over the bottom and sides of a 1 quart baking
dish. Combine the remaining ingredients except the peaches and pour into buttered baking dish.
Spread peach slices over batter. Other fruits may be used in place of peaches. Bake for 45 minutes.
The batter rises through the fruit to form a crust on top.

This looks good and simple, Some questions?. I will be using canned sliced peaches...Discard the
liquid? What kind of flour? Margarine OK? How to tell when done?

Thanks

Thank you so much, I will try this as soon as possible. Just one question, does the batter stay
moist and gooey since it rises up through the peaches? If so then this is probably the recipe my
friend's mom used. Thank you again!

I have used this recipe before with canned fruit and I leave the juice in it. For each cup of juice,
I add 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1/4 cup brown sugar with a dash of cinnamon and then pour it over
the cobbler right before putting it into the oven. Comes out great and my clients love it.

My mom never used canned peaches but I would discard the liquid because if you add the liquid to
the batter it might keep the cobbler from coming out right. Use regular all purpose flour. The
butter is mainly there for flavor so it's okay to substitute margarine. You can test for doneness
the same way you test for doneness with a cake. If a toothpick inserted into the center of the
cobbler comes out clean with no uncooked batter clinging to it then the cobbler is done. You can
also use this method to test for doneness if you think the cobbler looks done before the
recommended baking time is up.

I made the cobbler and it turned out very good. Thank You

Hmm...I tried making this...unfortunately after 55 minutes in the oven the middle is nothing but
liquid. I used canned peaches and discarded the liquid. When I made the batter and poured it in the
baking dish, it was extremely thin (enough so that the peaches all sank to the bottom of the dish).
The dish I used was a little bit larger than 1 quart...more like 1.5 quart. What could be the
problem? Thanks.

Equal amounts of flour and sugar? Are you sure? A mere tablespoon (or less) of sugar would be
more like it.

<Sami, this could be why it didn't rise and solidify for you
