PEACH COBBLER
Everyone has a different idea about what a cobbler should be. Biscuit-topped? Double-crusted? Cakelike? We're not here to cast a vote, merely to present a simple Southern cake-style cobbler that makes the most of ripe summer peaches (or the frozen ones languishing in the back of your freezer). All you really need is a bowl, a saucepan, a baking pan and a spoon. When you transfer the batter to the pan, it will not completely cover the bottom, nor will it cover the top of the peaches, but cobble it together the best you can. As it bakes, the batter will rise up along the sides of the pan and through the peaches, developing a crisp exterior and tender interior.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Peel, pit and slice the peaches. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan. Add the sliced peaches and 1/2 cup sugar. Stir in 2 tablespoons of flour and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until soft and syrupy.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the remaining 1 cup sugar with the remaining 1 cup flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in the milk until combined.
- Add 8 tablespoons of butter to a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and place it in the oven. When the butter is melted, reserve 1/3 cup of the batter and set aside. Add the rest of the batter to the pan, using a spatula to spread it out as much as you can. It will not fully cover the bottom of the pan. That's O.K.
- Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the top of the batter. Using a clean spoon, dollop small bits of the reserved batter over the peaches, and spread around a bit with the back of the spoon. (It will not fully cover the peaches. Again, that's O.K.!)
- Bake for about 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
