CLASSIC BISQUICK™ PEACH COBBLER

Steps:

PEACH & BLUEBERRY GRUNT

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Butter a wide shallow ovenproof dish. Blend the cornflour with the orange zest and juice, and put in a large pan with the sugar. Halve, stone and slice the peaches and add to the pan. Bring slowly to the boil, stirring gently until the sauce is shiny and thickened, about 3-4 mins. Remove from the heat, stir in the blueberries and tip into the prepared dish.
• Tip the flour into a mixing bowl and add the 50g butter. Rub the butter into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs, then stir in half the sugar. Mix the remaining sugar with the cinnamon and set aside.
• Add the milk to the dry ingredients and mix to a soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly. Roll out to an oblong roughly 16 x 24cm. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with the spicy sugar. Roll up from one long side and cut into 12 slices. Arrange around the top of the dish, leaving the centre uncovered.
• Bake for 20-25 mins, until the topping is crisp and golden. Serve warm.

PEACH PANDOWDY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place the peaches in a medium bowl. Sprinkle lemon juice over them. Mix together 1/2 cup of sugar and cornstarch. Sprinkle over the peaches, and stir to coat. Spoon into a 2 to 2 1/2 quart casserole dish.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter with a fork or pastry cutter until it is in fine crumbs. Make a well in the center, and pour in the cream. Stir with a fork until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
• Roll out dough on a floured surface until it is just big enough to cover the baking dish. Cut a 2 inch cross in the center. Place over the peaches, and tuck in the dough around the sides. Turn back the corners of the cross to reveal the filling.
• Bake for 40 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until filling is bubbly, and top is golden brown.

PEACH GRUNT

Steps:

• Stir together water, sugar, and ginger (if using) in skillet until combined.
• Add sliced peaches. Bring to a gentle boil over low heat.
• Meanwhile, add flour, baking powder, and baking soda to a large bowl. Stir to combine.
• Cut in butter with a pastry blender until like coarse crumbs.
• Stir in buttermilk.
• Drop dough over the fruit mixture. Cover and cook over low heat until dough is cooked through - about 15 minutes.
• Serve with the fruit sauce "slumped" over the dumpling.
• Top with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
• *Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor that goes well with peaches. However, you may use regular milk instead. If using regular milk, omit the baking soda.

DELICIOUS SPICY PEACH CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, cut a small "X" in the bottom of each peach using the tip of a paring knife.
• Put the peaches into the boiling water for 1 minute. Remove them from the water with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a large bowl. Let them cool just until they are comfortable to handle.
• The brief blanching should make it easy to peel the skins off of the peaches by hand, but use a knife if you hit any stubborn spots. Compost or discard the skins.
• If you are working with freestone peaches , run a knife around the circumference of each peach. Its halves should be easy to twist apart. Discard the pits.
• If you are working with clingstone peaches, it's easier to remove the peach flesh from the pit using a paring knife. Simply slice off small chunks until you've removed as much as you can. Discard the pits.
• Chop the peeled and pitted peaches into approximately 1/2-inch chunks.
• Combine all of the ingredients in a large pot over medium-high heat.
• Cook, stirring frequently until the peaches soften to the point that they start to fall apart when you stir the chutney. If the chutney seems too liquid at that point, raise the heat to high and continue to cook it until a wooden spoon dragged across the bottom of the pot leaves a trail that doesn't fill in with chutney even after a couple of seconds.
• Ladle the chutney into clean pint or 1/2-pint canning jars (it is not necessary to sterilize the jars for this recipe because of the length of the canning time). Leave 1/2-inch of headspace.
• Wipe the rims with a paper towel or clean dishtowel. Screw on canning lids and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

OLD-FASHIONED PEACH COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drain peaches and set them aside.
• Melt the stick of butter in an 8x8 baking dish (I just stick it in the oven while it is preheating).
• Mix together the flour, sugar, and teaspoon of cinnamon until blended. Pour in milk and stir until blended again. After butter is melted, take the dish out of the oven and pour the batter on top of the butter, DON'T STIR.
• Use a big spoon to set your peach slices down all over the top of the cobbler dough, DON'T STIR. They will sink down and it will all be fine. Just distribute them as best you can but don't move them around once you set them down.
• If you want, sprinkle about a tablespoon of sugar and another teaspoon of cinnamon over the top of your peach mixture. Sometimes I do this, sometimes I don't.
• Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until it's set in the center and golden brown on top. Let it cool and thicken for about 30 minutes before serving with vanilla ice cream.

PEACH CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray a 9-inch springform pan or cake pan with baking spray.
• To your stand mixer add the butter, sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until light and fluffy then add in the eggs one at a time.
• Sift the flour, salt, and baking soda together in a medium bowl then add them into the stand mixer on low speed until just combined.
• Add the milk.
• Fold the peaches into the batter.
• Pour into pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until top is lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean.

LAZY PEACH SONKER (WITH GLUTEN-FREE OPTION)

Steps:

• Mix together the water, brown sugar, spices, and salt and pour into the inner liner of your Instant Pot.
• Turn to saute and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
• Press cancel. If using fresh peaches, let the syrup cool for 20 minutes. If using frozen peaches, add them to the pot, lock the lid in place, making sure it is set to sealing. Set manual pressure for 3 minutes.
• Once the 3 minutes is up, carefully do a quick pressure release then remove the lid.
• Press cancel and then saute. Allow syrup to boil for 3-5 minutes to slightly reduce and thicken the syrup.
• Add pecans if using and pour into a 1 1/2 to 2 quart oval baker.
• Set a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 350F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour or gluten-free flour blend, the baking powder, and salt.
• Place milk and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high power until butter has mostly melted and milk is hot. Stir until butter is completely melted.
• Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until you have a thick batter.
• Spoon evenly on top of the hot fruit mixture.
• Sprinkle the batter with the granulated sugar. (See Notes)
• Place the baking dish on a tray to catch any drips and put in the oven. Bake until the topping is deep golden brown and the juices are bubbling all over, about 30-35 minutes.
• Allow sonker to cool for 40 minutes or so and serve warm with ice cream, milk dip, sweetened or unsweetened cream, yogurt, or eat it plain.
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and reheat to serve.

• Place the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda into the bowl of a food processor and process for 3 to 4 pulses. Pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl and, using your hands, work the butter into the flour mixture until about half of the fat disappears and the rest is left in pea-size pieces. Make a well in the center of the mixture and add the buttermilk and stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon just until it comes together. Turn the mixture out onto a piece of parchment or waxed paper that has been lightly dusted with flour, shape into a ball and wrap and store in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
• Combine the blackberries, sugar, water and ginger in a large mixing bowl. Pour the mixture into a 10-inch cast iron skillet and place over medium heat. Bring this to a simmer decrease the heat to medium low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes, or until the liquid is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Retrieve the dough from the refrigerator and gently drop it on the fruit mixture using a 1-ounce disher or large spoon, evenly distributing it over the top. Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the top is just starting to brown. Remove from the oven and allow the grunt to cool for 15 to 30 minutes before serving.
