SOUTHERN PEACH COBBLER
My little cousin calls this dish "Peach Cobblet" because when he was younger, he couldn't pronounce "Cobbler." This cobbler is a spin-off of my mother's recipe. The crust is buttery and flaky (I use a butter+shortening mix), it's not too thick and not too thin, and it's a FLAVORED crust, so it boasts a lot more than just butter and flour. The filling is perfect and can be adjusted to your taste. This is a REAL, TRADITIONAL STYLE COBBLER, the way it was meant to be. No biscuit-topping and no lattice-style crust here. Serve warm with premium vanilla bean ice cream or serve with whipped topping, drizzled caramel, and a sprinkle of nutmeg.
