Paula Deen's Southern Peach Cobbler

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 lb peaches

  (peeled and sliced)
• 2 cups sugar

  (divided into 2 portions)
• ½ cup water
• 1½ cups self-rising flour
• 1 cup milk
• ½ cup butter
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  (optional)
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg

  (optional)

Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C/Gas Mark 4).
• 2 In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the 1 lb peaches, 1 cup of 2 cups sugar,
  and ½ cup water.
• 3 Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat, and then simmer for 10 minutes.
  Remove from the heat and set aside.
• 4 In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 1½ cups self-rising flour, and remaining 1
  cup of 2 cups sugar until well incorporated. Then, slowly whisk in the 1 cup
  milk.
• 5 Place the ½ cup butter into a 9x13 baking dish and set it in the hot oven to
  melt.
• 6 Remove the baking dish from the oven and pour the batter over the melted butter,
  without stirring it.
• 7 Carefully spoon the fruit on top of the batter and then gently pour in the syrup
  from the saucepan. Try to do this lightly so you don’t mix the batter. Then,
  sprinkle the top with optional ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1 pinch ground
  nutmeg.
• 8 Bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C/Gas Mark 4) for 30-45 minutes, or until the top
  is golden in color.
• 9 Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
