JEAN AND MARILYN'S MOTHER'S PEACH COBBLER

This recipe comes with a little story.  I always thought this was an Old Order Mennonite or Amish recipe.  I was giving it to Marilyn to put on Amish Stories.  As I was going through the ingredients, all of a sudden Marilyn said wait a minute.  That sounds like my Mom's Peach Cobbler Recipe.  Marilyn got the recipe and read it to me and they were almost completely alike.  So we give both our Mother's credit for this recipe.

You can use other fruits in this recipe besides peaches - just adjust the amount of sugar.

JEAN AND MARILYN'S MOTHERS PEACH COBBLER

1/2 stick butter or margarine
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup milk
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon baking powder
3 cups sliced peaches (skin removed)

Melt butter in an 8 inch by 8 inch by 2 inch baking dish.  Put sliced peaches in dish.  Combine other ingredients - pour over sliced peaches.  Bake at 325 degrees for one hour.

If you use canned peaches, I use one # 2 1/2 can and reduce sugar to 3/4 cup.

You can also bake this in a loaf pan.
