Ginger's Peach Gobbler Cobbler

Ingredients: 
1/2 cup (4 oz.) butter
820g (28 oz.) canned peaches in juice or light syrup
2 Tbsp. white sugar
1 cup self-raising (all-purpose) flour
1 cup white sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1 cup of milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 more Tbsp. white sugar 

This a favourite dessert in our house.  I didn't have my mother's peach cobbler recipe & couldn't get any decent fresh peaches (which I knew hers required), so I looked a recipe that used tinned peaches so I could do it year round.  Over the years, I made a few changes to get it how I wanted it.   I've literally made this hundreds of times.  The prep time is mere minutes & it's so easy to do.  It's great for barbecues, get-togethers & occasions like pot luck when you're bringing something to someone's house.  It's always a huge hit & it's always gone within minutes when other people are around.  They always want the recipe, so here it finally is!

Method:
Preheat oven to 165 Celsius (325 F). Put the butter in an 8x10 or 9x9 inch baking dish & place in oven to melt while you prepare the remaining ingredients. Bring the peaches with juice & 2 tablespoons. of sugar to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low & simmer for 10 minutes.  Set aside. Whisk together the flour, 1 cup sugar, cinnamon, vanilla & nutmeg in a bowl. Stir in the milk until the mixture is just moistened. Pour into the hot baking dish over the butter.  Spoon the peach slices & most, but not all, of the juice over the batter. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove briefly, to sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. Return to the oven and bake until the top is golden brown - about 30 to 45 minutes longer.

This serves quite a few & is best served hot with cold vanilla ice cream on top! If you're all out of ice cream, custard makes a pretty topping too.
