Delicious Homemade Peach Cobbler

Peach Cobbler

Ingredients:

  • 8 peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons of cornstarch
  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 12 tablespoons of salted butter, chilled and cut into pieces

How to make:

Preheat over to 400 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine peaches, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir to coat evenly. Pour into an 8-inch glass baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes.

In another large bowl, combine flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Using a mixer add in butter until mixture is crumbly. Add 1 tablespoon of hot water at a time until all combined.

Remove peaches from the oven and spoon on the topping mixture. Sprinkle the remaining sugar over the top. Bake for 30 more minutes or until golden. (Sometimes the cobbler will bubble over, so best to place the dish on a foil lined cookie sheet.)

Serve warm. Optional to top with ice cream or whipped topping.

Fresh Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

Overnight Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup of warm water
  • 4 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup or 2.25 sticks of salted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons of cinnamon
  • 4 ounces of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups of confectioners sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1-2 tablespoons of milk

How to make:

Using a stand mixer (if you have one–if not then a large mixing bowl), combine warm water and yeast. Then add in only a half cup of the flour. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm place for about thirty minutes.

Next, add in the eggs, sugar, 1/2 cup of softened butter, salt, and remaining four cups of flour. Knead on medium speed, or by hand until smooth. Add more flour as needed to reduce the stickiness.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Continue to knead if not completely smooth. In a greased bowl, place the dough, cover with plastic wrap or a towel, return it to the warm place, and let sit until it has doubled in size. Roughly 1.5 – 2 hours.

Once ready, put the dough back on the floured surface and roll out to a 12-inch by 18-inch rectangle. Melt 1/2 butter and brush over the entire surface of the dough. Mix together brown sugar and cinnamon and spread on top of the melted butter.

Roll up the dough. Using a very sharp knife or dental floss, slice the roll in half, then into quarters, and continue slicing until you have 12 equal size pieces. Place the rolls flat side down into a buttered 9 x 13 baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and let it refrigerate overnight.

In the morning, remove and place on the counter for an hour to return to room temperature. Rolls will rise.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 30 minutes or until tops have browned.

To make the glaze, whip together cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Add confectioners sugar, vanilla, and just enough milk to make the mixture a glaze.

Once the rolls have cooled slightly, glaze and serve.

 

How To Make A Frittata

Here you will find a basic recipe for a frittata. Frittatas make for an easy breakfast or brunch item and can be combined with just about any vegetable in your refrigerator with it without cheese. Have fun experimenting to find your favorite mixture!

Fritatta

Ingredients:

  • 3 Tablespoons of olive oil
  • Assortment of vegetables
  • 8 eggs
  • 1/2 cup of milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 cup of cheese if adding

How to make:

Preheat the broiler to high.

In an oven-safe skillet, I prefer a 10-inch cast iron skillet, cook meat and remove to drain. Add vegetables and cook until tender. If not adding meat, heat olive oil and cook vegetables until tender.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and seasonings. Pour the mixture into the skillet with meat and vegetables. Once the edge of the frittata is half-way set, the middle is still runny, sprinkle cheese if adding, and move to under the broiler. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Cool and slice.
