THE LADY AND SONS EASY PEACH COBBLER ( PAULA DEEN )

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place butter in oven in a 2-quart baking dish to melt.
• Stir sugar and flour together and mix well. Slowly add milk and continue to stir to prevent the batter from lumping.
• Being careful not to burn yourself, remove hot baking dish containing melted butter from oven; pour batter directly over butter in baking dish (DO NOT STIR).
• Spoon fruit on top of batter, then gently pour syrup on top (DO NOT STIR). Sprinkle with cinnamon, if using. The most important part of this dish is not stirring the mixture.
• Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. Your batter will rise above your fruit, producing the most wonderful of crusts. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
