High Altitude Recipes – 9000 Feet and Rising

Really Easy Peach Cobbler

January 1, 2007 · 1 Comment

This is the easiest Peach Cobbler and I made it the other night so I know what I’m talking about!

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

Ingredients:

Topping:
2 cups Bisquick
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup milk

Innards:
2 large (29 oz.) cans of sliced peaches in syrup (I prefer DelMonte)
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tbs flour

What to do:
Let’s start with the innards:  With high heat, dump 1 can of the peaches into a medium saucepan with the 1/4 cup of sugar.  Drain the second can – saving the syrup, and dump the peaches into the saucepan with the first can.   Mix 1/3 of the syrup with the 2 Tbs of flour thoroughly making sure there are NO lumps.  Dump this mixture into the saucepan with the peaches and bring to a boil stirring constantly.  Once brought to a boil, simmer for 5 minutes.  The mixture should thicken.  In the meantime prepare the topping:

Mix all the topping ingredients in a small mixing bowl stirring until smooth. 

Pull it all together:
Pour the ingredients from the saucepan into a casserole dish.  Pour the topping over the peaches, and place in the oven for 35-40 minutes.  The topping will brown.  Use a cake tester or a toothpick to check the topping for doneness – it should come out clean. 

Let cool and totally eat it!

Standards

All high altitude recipes need a formula of some sort.  Here are some basics:

Liquids:  For every cup; increase 3-4 Tablespoons

Flour:  For every cup; increase 1-2 Tablespoons

Baking Powder:  For every teaspoon; decrease 1/4 to 3/8 Teaspoons

Sugar:  For every cup; decrease 2-4 Tablespoons

Baking Temperature:  increase from original; 25 degrees

This guideline will be used throughout, altered slightly as necessary.  I will only post those recipes that are tested and successful! 

Baking makes the world a richer place!
