It is my Mom's fault (and I think my Grandma's) that I occasionally make peach cobbler for breakfast. Some of the kids friends think it's silly or see it as a dessert but my kids still ask for it. I was watching Good Eats one evening and Alton Brown made this recipe. It is delicious! The best peach cobbler I've ever had (no offense, Grandma). Even though it is done in individual ramekins, I've also doubled the recipe and done it in a 9 x 13 and it turns out just as great (just not as fun).
3 tbsp butter, divided
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 medium peaches, peeled (or 1 can of peaches)
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk (I've always used regular milk)
1/2 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Divide 2 tbsp of butter between 4 (6 oz) ramekins. Melt the remaining tbsp of butter and set aside.
Evenly divide the brown sugar between the ramekins; sprinkling it into the bottoms of the dishes. Cut each peach into 12 to 14 pieces. Lay the peaches on top of the sugar; evenly dividing them between the dishes. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl whisk together the sugar, milk, vanilla and melted butter. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir just until combined. Pour the batter over the peaches; dividing the mixture evenly between the dishes. Place on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the cake reaches an internal temperature of 190 degrees on an instant read thermometer (or use the toothpick method just through the cake, not the peaches).
Remove from the oven to a rack and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of each dish and turn upside down onto a serving plate. Serve immediately with whipped cream or ice cream (or as we did growing up: put in a bowl and top with canned milk).
** This can also be made with fresh apples and a little cinnamon. I've never tried it but Alton says its great.
