Nectarine Cobbler

I bought a case of nectarines a few weeks ago, and this morning I looked at the last four (sad looking) nectarines that were left in the box. After inspection, one had to go in the garbage, but the last three were, while a little soft to the touch, still in good shape. I thought I give the old Peach Cobbler a spin and try my luck with Nectarine Cobbler. Here it goes…

Cut three (sad looking) nectarines in slices and boil them with ½ cup of sugar and some water for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile melt about 2 tbsp. butter in a casserole dish.

Mix ¾ cup of flour, 2 tsp. of baking powder, ¼ cup sugar, and ¾ cup of milk (makes kind of like a pancake batter).

Add the batter to the melted butter casserole dish (do not mix the batter with the butter - just pour on top of it!). Then add the nectarines with a slotted spoon (I left most of the juice in the pot) on top of the batter.

 

Now bake at 350F for 45 min.

And voila……Nectarine Cobbler.
