Peach cobbler

I love peach cobbler and it has been raining here today so  decided to make some warm gooey peach cobbler to warm up my family here is the recipe that I used:

4 cups peeled, sliced peaches
2 cups sugar, divided
1/2 cup water
8 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1 1/2 cups milk

And crumb topping
1 1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup butter cut into small pieces
1 1/2 cup sugar
2Tbsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine the peaches, 1 cup sugar, and water in a saucepan and mix well. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Put the butter in a 3-quart baking dish or large cast iron skillet and place in oven to melt.

Mix remaining 1 cup sugar, flour, and milk slowly to prevent clumping. Pour mixture over melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon fruit on top, gently pouring in syrup. Sprinkle top with crumb mixture. Batter will rise to top during baking. Bake for40 to 45 minutes.

To serve, scoop onto a plate and serve with your choice of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
