The Trustees are all too aware of the positive impact that a cup of tea and tasty cuppa cake contributes towards seniors enjoying themselves and the joy of getting out of the house and to socialise with like minded people. As always, be sure to monitor closely if you deviate from the recipe.The Cuppa, Cake and Company group raised their cups to The Bring Joy Foundation after receiving a grant for £3,420 towards their monthly tea parties. I’ve added extra fruit (in this case, watch for overflow and place a baking sheet under your pan for added insurance!), and mixed the peaches with a variety of berries.I tend to use an 8-inch square or similar size rectangular dish (pictured) because I like the batter to be a bit deeper, but I’ve actually baked a thinner version in a 9×13 pan and it did work. For a bit of caramelized sweetness, I’ve sprinkled a tablespoon or so of additional sugar over the surface at the end of baking time and broiled for a minute or two, watching very closely to avoid burning. For instance, I’ve baked the cobbler at 375 degrees F, reducing the cooking time slightly. This recipe has proved to be fairly flexible over the years.At this point, the skins will peel off easily.Ĭanned and drained peaches may be used when fresh aren’t available. The edges of the “X” will begin to peel back. If this isn’t the case, score an “X” on one end, and then immerse in boiling water for 30-40 seconds. When peaches are very ripe, the skins will often peel off easily. I’ve tried Earth Balance baking sticks as well as Miyoko’s vegan butter and both work nicely. *Feel free to swap with your favorite non-dairy butter. Serve the cobbler warm or at room temperature, with a scoop of optional ice cream or whipped cream.To best preserve freshness, cover and refrigerate any leftovers. Check a few minutes early and adjust the time if necessary, as all ovens vary. You’ll know the cobbler is cooked throughout when the edges are a deep golden brown. The batter will rise up and around the peaches as it cooks. (I use about 1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon, but you can eyeball it or skip it entirely.)īake the cobbler for 35 to 45 minutes. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon sugar, if desired. Do not stir.Įvenly distribute the chopped peaches over the batter. Once the butter has fully melted, remove the baking dish from the oven, and pour the batter over the melted butter. (You don’t want the butter to burn, so avoid putting the dish in the oven too early.It should take about 4-5 minutes to melt cold butter.) As you are finishing up with the batter, place the baking dish in the oven to melt the butter. Add the milk and vanilla, stirring just until the dry ingredients are thoroughly combined. Set aside.Ĭombine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Place the butter (as is–you will melt this soon) in an 8-inch square or similar size baking dish. (For the record, Dad called to verify the date!) When the “new” store was built 34 years ago on the corner of Long Lane and Marticville Road, he added peaches to his seasonal shopping list. I asked him recently when he began these weekly trips, and he told me he first went for apples 40-some years ago, when the store was located on New Danville Pike. Peach season-his favorite-called for special runs to Cherry Hill Orchards. While Mom typically made the weekly grocery runs, Dad was a Central Market regular, bringing home an ever-evolving rainbow of produce for all to enjoy. Though my dad has never done much cooking, in many ways he’s the person who taught me to eat with the seasons. So when I read recently that this dog day of summer is also “National Eat a Peach Day,” I knew he’d appreciate the fitting overlap. With a layer of melted butter, batter, and fruit, this simple “Cuppa Cuppa Cuppa Cobbler” strays from the typical two-layer cobbler with fruit on the bottom and a crumble or biscuit on top. Then, as this cobbler bakes, the batter rises up and over the peaches and forms a cakelike treat, the edges of which become lightly crisped by the melted butter.Īugust 22 is my dad’s birthday.
