Paula’s Perfect Peach Cobbler by Kirsten Vala in View All Posts, August 18th, 2010
We’re teaming up with other food and garden bloggers to host Summer Fest 2010, a season-long garden party. Each week we’ll feature favorite garden-to-table recipes and tips to help you enjoy the bounty, whether you’re harvesting your own goodies or buying them fresh from the market. To join in, check out awaytogarden.com.
With just five ingredients (granted, one is a whole stick of butter!), Georgia-native Paula Deen makes a perfect Peach Cobbler, one of the top recipes on FoodNetwork.com.
Cobblers are made in a deep dish and have a thick crust on top, usually biscuit-like dough spooned on top of the fruit filling. But Paula works a little self-rising flour magic with her version. Her thin batter begins its journey in a pool of warm, melted butter at the bottom of the baking dish, then works its way up through peachy goodness as it bakes to form a buttery, moist crust. No wonder this recipe has over 900, 5-star reviews!
Jump into the kitchen with Paula, to see all her can’t-miss cobbler-making secrets.
If you’re craving a crunchy fruit crisp or crumble, tap into the expertise of Barefoot Contessa Ina Garden, with her recipes for Peach and Blueberry Crumble and Peach and Raspberry Crisp.

For Summer Fest: The peaches from our CSA just seem to get eaten – they are so good. No opportunities to cook with them.
Since blackberries and stone fruits are both members of the rose family, I thought I would share my blackberry recipes.
I have two pies made by different methods.
No. 1 is good for making and eating right away. http://purplecook.blogspot.com/2010/08/blackberry…
No. 2 is good for freezing. http://purplecook.blogspot.com/2010/08/blackberry…
I also made blackberry ice cream. http://purplecook.blogspot.com/2010/08/blackberry…

This looks awesome! I just got peaches and raspberries in my CSA, I might make this tonight with both fruits.
This looks amazing! Leave it up to Paula to make an amazing dessert. I just made a grilled peach crumble ice cream yesterday. Peaches are the perfect summer fruit for a perfect dessert.
That whole stick of butter would make any treat amazing! Paula's peach cobbler is looking mighty tasty.
