Easy Peach Cobbler - Linda Chipman

This is a recipe I like to make because you don't have to run to the store for anything and besides if you have some bottled peaches that are a little dark, you can use them up. If company comes unexpectedly, you can hurry and make this.

2 quarts peaches (not drained)
1/2 cup sugar
1 teas. amond flavoring optional ( I didn't have any and I couldn't taste any difference)
cinnamon to taste
2-3 Tbsp. corn starch mixed with a little cold water

Pour peaches with juice, sugar, flavoring and cinnamon in a large sauce pan and bring to a boil. Stir in the corn starch and water into the peach mixture aand cook until thickened. Pour this into a 9x13 pan.

Mix together:
2 cups flour
2 T. sugar
1 T. baking powder
1 teas. salt
6 T. shortening

Mix together and cut the shortening in. Add 1/2 cup of milk or more. (I like the batter to be a little thin.) Drop on top of peach mixture and spread around. Bake @ 350 degrees until golden on top. Serve with whipped, cream or ice cream or cool whip while warm. You may half this recipe but put it in a 8x8 pan.

Yum! You could probably substitue vanilla flavoring for the almond if you didn't have any on hand, just an idea! Looks Like I am going to be busy trying out new recipes.

Thanks:)
