*************************

I thoroughly enjoy cobblers and of course, peach cobblers. They also remind me of my college days. We were pretty lucky to have a tasty college kitchen and peach cobblers were among the favorites and most requested. Our cafeteria director was happy to oblige our requests and listen to our suggestions, likes and dislikes. We were lucky indeed.

Peach Cobbler Recipe
1 cup flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup milk
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon butter
6 halves canned peaches
1 teaspoon baking powder

Sift flour, measure, and sift with baking powder and salt. Cut in butter with 2 spatulas. Add milk. Turn onto lightly floured board. Knead lightly. Pat in sheet 1/3 inch thick. Place peaches in a casserole. Sprinkle with sugar. Place dough on top of peaches. Cut slits to allow steam to escape. Bake in hot oven (450 F.) 30 minutes.
Boil 1/4 cup sugar in 1/4 cup water 4 minutes. Add 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. When cobbler has baked 20 minutes add syrup. Bake 10 minutes. If desired, serve with cream. 6 servings. Mrs. M. D. Mycue, Huron, S. D.
