Several local public and private organizations have teamed up with Be Ready Utah’s exhibit to help Utahns become better prepared during National Preparedness Month.

Peach Cobbler

Peach Cobbler

1 cube butter
4-5 fresh peaches covered with 1 cup sugar OR
1 quart bottled peaches drained
1 cup flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 cup milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in 9X13 pan. Whisk all dry ingredients together in a bowl, add the milk and mix well. More the batter over the butter in the 9X13, DO NOT MIX. Then spoon the peaches over the batter, again DO NOT MIX. The cake will rise up over the peaches while baking. Bake for 50-55 minutes. If you want a thicker, more cakey cobbler use a smaller pan, like an 8x8 and adjust the baking time. Serve warm our of the oven with homemade vanilla or cinnamon ice cream.
Yum!
(This is also a great "store room" recipe. By using bottled peaches, powdered milk and powdered butter.)
