I love this cookbook - Smoke & Spice. Many of the intros and some of the comments are so funny. Anyway........ Texans usually like their peach cobblers with an abundance of juicy fruit and a biscuit-like batter topping that's crunchy on the surface and doughy inside.

How To Make texas peach cobbler

  • 1
    Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • 2
    In a bowl, mix together all the fruit filling ingredients.
  • 3
    Set the fruit aside to draw out the juices while preparing the batter. Cobbler filling should be a bit juicier than most pies.
  • 4
    Melt the butter in a 9 by 13-inch baking dish, either in the oven or on the stove.
  • 5
    In another bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, and baking powder and add the milk.
  • 6
    Mix until lightly blended.
  • 7
    Spoon the mixture evenly over the melted butter.
  • 8
    Don't stir it, which eliminates the development of crunchy edges.
  • 9
    Pour the peach filling evenly over the batter.
  • 10
    Bake for 45 minutes.
  • 11
    As the cobbler cooks, the batter oozes up and around the fruit, crowning the cobbler with a moist golden brown crust.
  • 12
    Serve warm.
  • 13
    If you're a certified hedonist, top it with ice cream or whipped cream.

    Variation: Blackberry Cobbler Make a blackberry cobbler by substituting berries for the peaches and eliminating the ginger. For ourselves, we would also add 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.
