Hill Counry Peach Cobbler

from the Pastry queen book...

Easy and great! Made at July 4th at Janice's house.

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 cup milk (can be low-fat)
3 cups slice fresh peaches
1/2 cup firmly packed golden brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350F.   Melt butter in a medium saute pan set over medium-high heat until it bubbles and turns a nut-brown color.  Watch the butter closely as it can go from browned to burned quickly.  Pour the butter into an 8-inch square baking dish.  In a medium bowl, stir together the granulated sugar, flour, baking powder and milk.  Pour the milk mixture on top of the melted butter.  Do not stir.  Without mixing, arrange the peaches evenly ontop of the batter.  Sprinkle the brown sugar over the cobbler.

Bake the cobbler for 40 to until the top turns golden brown.  Miraculously, the batter will migrate from the bottom of the pan to cover the peach slices partially.  Serve warm or at room temperature.

Other fruit such as boysenberries, blueberries, nectarines and blackberries can also be used - alone or in combination.
