Peach Cobbler

So my mom got a big box of peaches free from a friend. So I was asked/decided to make a peach cobbler. I got the recipe from allrecipes.com. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Peach-Cobbler-II-2/Detail.aspx .

INGREDIENTS

• 3 fresh peaches - peeled, pitted and sliced
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 2 cups boiling water
• 3 tablespoons butter

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10x10 inch baking dish.
2. Stir together peaches with cinnamon and 1 1/2 cups sugar. Set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, cream together shortening and 1 cup sugar. Mix in flour, baking powder and salt alternately with milk. Pour into prepared pan. Top with peach mixture. Drop butter in boiling water and pour all over peaches.
4. Bake in preheated oven 40 to 45 minutes, until golden brown.

So there are a few tips for this recipe. The first is how to peel the peaches, you need to dip them briefly in boiling water, and that will make the skin easy to remove. The other suggestions are using more peaches, I used 5 peaches for this recipe, instead of 3. Also some of the reviews f the recipe thought that the cobbler was "soupy" so I cut down on the amount of water, using only 1 cup of boiling water instead of 2 cups. Otherwise this is a good recipe, easy to make without a lot of prep.
