Rehearsal dinner dessert

[Chikn]

I have pulled pork, green beans, and slaw down, easy. I’ve tried 5-6 peach cobbler recipes and the filling is good but the cake on top is lacking. Can I use buttermilk and eggs and still have it rise to the top? I’ve got three weeks. Can you great cooks help me?

My wife makes the best cobbler I have ever eaten. She would just make it without a recipe. I watched her one time and wrote it all down.

This is for a 13x9 pan of cobbler.

1 cup of pioneer baking mix
1/2 cup of half and half
1/2 cup sugar
2 table spoons vanilla
1/4 cup peach brandy
3 table spoons butter melted

Mix this batter and drop big dollops onto fruit
Bake

Just before it is done, melt half a cube of real butter and drizzle over the top. Allow to crisp up and brown . Take out and sprinkle some sugar over the top

Topping could be something like Sugar, Spices, Nuts/Oats, Flour and cold Cubed Butter. Combine all ingredients and cut them into the butter with a fork.

Actually maybe I’m thinking of a Crumble.

Adding more eggs or any chemical leavener (baking powder/soda) will give your cake more rise. Buttermilk might make the cake too dense, because of the high fat content.

Thanks Derby. I’m unfamiliar w/pioneer baking mix…is it self rising flour or bisquik or something else?

[Chikn]

Buttermilk might make the cake too dense, because of the high fat content.

I’m going to be using a “lowfat” buttermilk at about 20% of the total milk and will be adding a beat egg white. As soon as Derby can find out what the baking mix is I’ll make a batch of both and report back. Family is loving the trial and error phase right now

[Derby42]

Yes it is like bisquick, but not just exactly the same. We buy it at walmart

Ok, Thanks
