Peach-Pecan Cobbler

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 4 1/2 cups fresh or frozen sliced, peeled peaches (about 1-1/2 pounds)
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • 1/3 Tablespoon buttermilk
  • 2 Tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Stir in water. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.
  2. Add peaches and return to boiling. Reduce heat and cook 2 minutes more. Keep warm over very low heat.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour and the 1 teaspoon sugar.
  4. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Add buttermilk; stir until moistened.
  6. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead dough gently 10 to 12 strokes.
  7. Roll out into a 9×6-inch rectangle.
  8. Combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Spread over the dough to within 1/2 inch of the edge.
  9. Sprinkle the pecans evenly over all.
  10. Roll up the dough jelly-roll-style, starting with a short side. Cut crosswise into six 1-inch pieces.
  11. Pour hot peach mixture into an 8x8x2-inch (2-quart square) baking dish. Place pecan rolls on top.
  12. Bake in a 400 degree F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
  13. Cool for about 30 minutes and serve warm (with ice cream, of course).
