Who is the Pioneer Woman?
"I'm the wife of a rugged cowboy. I'm the mother of four spirited children. I have horse poop on my porch. I'm Ree Drummond, also known as The Pioneer Woman. You can read more about my adventures, my cooking, and my photography on my crazy website, ThePioneerWoman.com".

"Over a decade ago, I gave up my pumps and the conveniences of city life, all for the love of a rugged cattle rancher. Come read and enjoy our wild tale of romance."

Peach Cobbler 9/21/2008


From The Prepared Pantry

One of our most popular recipes has been Mormon Peach Cobbler. It calls for canned peaches—which is okay, but not if you have fresh peaches. So we've updated this recipe using fresh peaches. You can always go back and forth between fresh peaches and canned—or another fruit for that matter— canned fruit just makes this dessert so easy. If you want to use canned, use (1) 29 ounce size can of sliced peaches in syrup.

Fruit Mixture
3/4 cup pineapple or other juice
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
4 cups ripe peaches, peeled and sliced

Pour the juice into a saucepan. Add the sugar, cornstarch, and spices. Stir until smooth. Heat until bubbly, stirring as needed. The syrup should thicken to a slurry. Put the peaches in a small casserole dish and pour the slurry over the top.

Topping - Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
In a medium bowl, whisk the butter, milk, and egg together. Add the sugar and stir. Combine the dry ingredients and add them to the liquid mixture. Stir until well combined. Spoon over the peach mixture so that the fruit is covered. Bake for 45 minutes or until the top is a golden brown.

Serving suggestions: Serve hot or cold. We prefer it hot with vanilla ice cream or cold milk.
