I also love pick your own fruits and veggies- what's better than getting your produce right off the plant? It's the best way to know how fresh your food is. I have found a great farm market in my community. Flinchbaugh's Orchard in Hellam, York County, PA is my new favorite place. They have great events for kids and families. I recently went to their Summer Peach Fest with one of the kids I work with, and we had a blast! Flinchbaugh's also does school and adult class tours of their farm. While I was there, I did their pick your own peaches. The staff was all very helpful and friendly. They charged $1.25 per pound of pick your own peaches. They provide bags for your picked peaches.
After having all these peaches, I wasn't really sure what to do with all of them. I wanted something yummy for breakfast to have on hand for the week. I got online and found some cobbler recipes(cobbler is ok for breakfast as long as I don't eat it with ice cream, right?). I sort of combined a few different recipes to make my own.
Breakfast Peach Cobbler
Ingredients:
Peaches, peeled a sliced
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 1/4 cup sugar, reserve 1/4 cup
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon
Start Cooking:
1. Peel and slice your peaches. It is really up to you have many peaches you want to use. 2-3 cups of the peeled and sliced peaches is a good amount to shoot for. Put the peaches, 1/8 cups sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon in a large pot on the stove and bring to a boil. The sugar and heat will bring out all the juice from the peaches.
2. Melt the butter and pour into the bottom on a shallow baking dish. Then pour the hot peaches over the butter.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients(only use 1 cup of sugar, reserve the remaining 1/8 cup). Then pour the batter over the peaches. Sprinkle the remaining sugar on top of the batter. Bake at 400 degrees for about 35 minutes, until cake is done and top is golden brown. Serve warm.
Enjoy!
