Peach Cobbler

As summer draws to a close, so do the summertime desserts. Peach Cobbler is one of my favorite summer desserts and this is a really simple recipe for it. If you have never made peach cobbler, then I recommend starting with this recipe. If you can, eat it with vanilla ice cream and it makes a wonderful summer treat. This also works really well as a potluck dessert if you need one. 

Peach Cobbler

Ingredients:

  • 5 peaches, peeled, cored, and sliced (about 4 cups) or 1 bag of frozen peaches

  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) of butter or margarine

  • 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour

  • 1 3/4 cups of granulated sugar

  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoons of salt

  • 3/4 cups of water

  • ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350℉.

  2. Slice butter/margarine into thin pieces and lay out on a 9x13 baking pan.

  3. Place the pan in the oven while it preheats.

  4. In a skillet, cook peaches, 3/4 cups of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoons of salt on medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the juices are brought out. (If the peaches are frozen, it takes a little longer.)

  5. Combine the flour, remaining sugar and salt, and baking powder in a bowl slowly adding water.

  6. When the oven is preheated, pour it into the pan and spread into an even layer.

  7. Spoon peaches, and their juice, onto the top of the batter.

  8. Sprinkle cinnamon generously over the top.

  9. Bake for about 35-40 minutes.

  10. Eat.

Recipe Notes:

  • You do not want to combine the contents in the pan as they come together while baking (do not let them mix but you can spread the contents out on top.).

  • This can keep for approximately three days at room temperature and a week in the fridge.

  • The cooking time is based on the oven in Clare’s kitchen, so if you are making it elsewhere, it might need more or less time. The texture should be much like that of a sponge cake. A knife inserted should come out without batter.

I hope that you enjoy this recipe and please let me know if you have any questions.

Why Politics was Never Meant to be an American Career

“Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.” - Thomas Paine This attitude toward government as being anywhere between a necessary evil to an intolerable one comes from a reflection on how the American revolution was fought not for government, but for liberty from a tyrannical rule, with the establishment of the American republic being only a means to that end. This understanding of government as a means to liberty is foundational to the United States, yet is a philosophy fading with time.  I will not go as far as to say that the Founding Fathers disliked the idea of government in general, but they had a comprehensive understanding of the imperfection of all human governing systems. Although the concepts of law, hierarchy, and authority are divine, government is a human institution, which means it is imperfect. No matter how many protections and precautions one takes when founding such an establishment, there will always be...

Government versus Human Rights

There is one thing that every societal government must recognize in order for it to be able and qualified to accomplish its purpose: human dignity. Everything the government issues forth relies on the truth of human dignity and without this understanding, the government fails to enforce justice and maintain peace. To recognize human dignity is to understand that society is not a machine with every person being merely a cog in the system, but instead, society is a community where individual persons should be recognized as such, and thus, deserve to have their human rights protected by the regime.  However, if human rights are defined by the theological understanding of human dignity, does any governmental regime have the power to protect them?  First, we need to understand what is meant by human right. Human rights apply to every human being from the moment of conception by virtue of his humanity and have existed since before being recognized by any type of civil institution. ...

Breakfast Scramble

  I ate this recipe almost every day over Christmas break, and it remains one of my favorites. This recipe is great because it is simple and easy to make. I make this recipe without cheese, but for anyone who can have it with cheese, I highly recommend doing so. This recipe does not have any gluten or nuts in it. As for the meat, you can keep it out and eat this on Fridays, choose one meat, or choose several. My preference is to use either Italian sausage or turkey lunchmeat and so I will give directions for both options, but you can use most other lunch meats in place of or in addition to turkey and breakfast sausage, ground beef, ground chicken, or ground turkey in place of Italian sausage. As for serving, I usually just eat this on its own, but sometimes have it in a tortilla or with toast or a muffin. Essentially, this can go with any number of things. Breakfast Scramble with Italian Sausage Ingredients: 2 tablespoons of oil 2 teaspoons of salt (or to taste) 2 teaspoons of pepp...
