Nothing says summer dessert like a peach cobbler.  And nothing says southern cooking, like a skillet.  Combine the two of those together, plus SC peaches on sale, and you have the recipe for a delicious dessert.  So basically, I’d been craving a cobbler for a few weeks, found a recipe on Pinterest, grabbed some peaches on the way home from the beach, and made it that night because I couldn’t wait any later.

Skillet Peach Cobbler

Ingredients:

• 5 peaches, peeled and sliced
• 1 C granulated sugar
• 1/4 C water
• 1/8 t cinnamon
• 4 T butter
• 1 C self rising flour
• 1 C granulated sugar
• 1 C milk
• 1/4 t salt

This recipe includes ingredients for both the filling and the topping (hence the repeat of some ingredients).

Okay, start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees, and pulling your cast iron skillet out.  Prepare your peaches, and put them into the skillet.  Add 1 C of sugar, the water, and cinnamon, and cook on medium heat.  Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.  Pour the peaches in a bowl and put to the side until later.

Next, melt your butter in the skillet on medium heat.  While the butter is melting, combine the flour, other 1 C of sugar, milk and salt in a bowl and mix well.  When the butter is melted, pour the mixture in the skillet, and then add the peaches to the top.

Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees, or until golden brown.  Serve immediately with ice cream!
