*One of Mary Myrick’s best recipes*

Ingredients:

• 2 cups peeled, sliced peaches
• 1-1/2 cups sugar, divided
• 1/2 cup butter
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tsps. baking powder
• 3/4 cup milk
• pinch of salt

Mix the sliced peaches with 1 cup sugar and set aside. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place butter in 2 qt. baking dish. Set dish in oven just long enough to melt the butter. Combine remaining 1/2 cup sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, and milk. Pour over the melted butter in the baking dish, but do not stir. Put the peaches on top of batter, again without stirring. Bake about 1 hour, until batter has risen to the top and is crisp and browned.

This is great served with vanilla ice cream.

Kimberly Starke used the same recipe, but substituted blackberries. Left pic is the berries covered with sugar, right pic is the finished cobbler:
