Marcia Adams is an exceptional cook and author who hosted the PBS show, Amish Cooking from Quilt Country . This is a delicious peach cobbler that is unusual in that the dry ingredients and peaches are layered and then boiling water is poured over all before it bakes into a lovely summer dessert. My Dad loves this and my Mom has phoned me many times over the years asking for this recipe when she has misplaced it. Ingredients:
1 cup flour |
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons butter, softened |
1 cup granulated sugar |
6 -8 peaches, peeled and sliced (depending on size) |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
1 teaspoon almond extract |
1 cup boiling water |
nutmeg, grated |
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, and salt; set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter.
4. Add 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar and blend well.
5. Beat in the flour mixture.
6. Grease a 9 x 9 metal pan (metal gives this a dessert a better texture).
7. Place half of the peaches on the bottom.
8. Sprinkle half the flour mixture over the fruit.
9. Add the rest of the peaches.
10. Sprinkle with the remainder of the flour mixture.
11. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar and the brown sugar.
12. Sprinkle the sugars over all.
13. Add the almond extract to the boiling water.
14. Pour over the cobbler but Do Not Mix!
15. Sprinkle with grated nutmeg.
16. Bake for 1 hour.
17. Serve warm.
