Pollock’s Peach Cobbler

Always a hit! Sandy’s version of peach cobbler starts with a layer of cakelike pastry: moist and delicious—never dry! It’s spiced with nutmeg and cinnamon to accentuate the warm flavor of the peaches and simply can’t be beat when accompanied by a scoop of ice cream. We recommend trying cinnamon ice cream for the ultimate flavor combination!

    makes 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

2 cups sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder

2/3 cup whole milk, at room temperature
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 (28-ounce) can sliced peaches, drained
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Pour the melted butter into a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish and set aside.

    In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of the sugar, the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk and egg. Pour the mixture evenly over melted butter in the pan.

    Let the cobbler cool for 5 minutes before dusting lightly with confectioners’ sugar.
