How Do You Make Peach Cobbler

How To Make A Cobbler – Faye’s Mini Peach Cobbler

I have been trying to maintain a healthy diet while staying at home, but I have been doing a lot of baking.   After my family heard that my mom had made a peach cobbler for herself and my dad,  I kept hearing my family say things like, “I wish we had peach cobbler.”  They know me well enough to know, I would be preparing one as well.

Thank God! I had most of the ingredients because it is like a toss of the coin when it comes to getting groceries.  It is not guaranteed you will get everything you need for a particular recipe.

I had everything I needed except for peaches.  When I went to the store, I was able to get two small cans of peaches, I got these in place of one large can.  There were only four cans of small peaches on the shelf,  thank goodness I only needed one large can.  Aside from not have a large can of peaches, the store did not have my preferred brand. I took what I could get. Surprisingly enough they were just as delicious as my preferred brand.

My family was excited when I told them I would be making peach cobbler for them.  The excitement intensified when I was actually making it and the sweet smells filled our home.

I have been using Faye’s Mini Peach Cobbler recipe for over 25 years.  I first learned of the recipe when I was in college.  My mom and a group of her coworkers had created a cookbook that included some of their favorite recipes.

During one of my visits home with a classmate,  my mom made Faye’s Mini Peach Cobbler.   My friend and I both thought it was delicious.  My friend loved it so much she made one when we returned back to our college apartments.  For over 25 years, I have pulled out this recipe that has now become a favorite for my family.  My daughter has now asked for this recipe so that she can make this cobbler in her home.

I allow the cobbler to for a short while because my family likes to eat it a la mode.

I do not know who Faye is, but I love her mini peach cobbler recipe.
