It's one of those recipes that you look at and wonder how in the world it work (and how someone came up with the instructions) - but it works. And it is super easy and so tasty.
I had some peaches to use up... I actually found a nearby farmer's market over the weekend that was semi-decent, and I bought some peaches. I had to use them up. What better way than some peach cobbler??
You start your oven. You throw a stick of butter in a pan and toss that in the oven so the buter can melt.
Meanwhile, you cook some sliced peaches (I don't bother to peel) with some sugar and water....
Then it is batter mixing time. And it is an odd batter.
Flour....
Add milk and mix....
Take the pan out of the oven and the craziness begins.....
Pour the batter OVER the butter...
Pour the peaches OVER the batter....
And then you just look at it for a minute and go "WTF have I just done? This is never going to work."
But... it does...
The batter bubbles up thru and around the peaches, and it's just wonderful.
Add some vanilla ice cream and let the happiness begin.

Looks delicious! I have an oven pancake recipe that starts with "Melt a stick of butter in the oven ..." that is wonderful, so I'm already a convert to the method. :)
This is how we make peach cobbler in the dutch oven. Great for camping. Similar to the German Puff Pancake recipe I have.
If you want an even easier version, don't bother to cook the peaches. Just cut them up and toss with some sugar and allow to sit for about 15 minutes before proceeding with the recipe. Add about 3/4 cup sugar to the flour and milk mixture and proceed. You can also make it with frozen or canned peaches if you don't have fresh.
