Letterpress Wedding Present.

I had an order to prepare today as a wedding present: a set of letterpress cards in an elegant box, personnalised with the initials of the bride ans the groom :)

I wish you a nice and cosy week....

A recipe I brought back from California, I would never forget the fist Peach Cobbler I tasted there: a huge portion still warm, with vanilla ice cream melting on the top.... hummm... delicious....
I am doing one for the weekend, with apples too.
Have a relaxing time!

Ingredients:

Peach filling

1/2 cup sugar

1 tbsp cornstarch

1/2 tsp cinnamon

4 cups sliced fresh peeled peaches (about 6-8)

1 tsp. lemon juice

Biscuit Topping

1 cup flour

1 tbsp sugar

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

3 tbsp butter

1/2 cup milk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Blend 1/2 cup sugar and the cornstarch in medium saucepan. Stir in peaches and lemon juice. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir one minutes. Pour into ungreased 2 quart casserole dish. Keep fruit mixture hot in oven while preparing biscuit topping.

Measure flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into bowl. Add butter and milk. Cut through butter six times (the more you mix, the tougher the biscuit topping gets too tough). Mix until dough forms a ball. Drop dough by six spoonfuls onto hot pie filling. Bake 25-30 minutes or until biscuit topping is golden brown.

6 servings.

Keep warm.

Just back from the gallery and had a warm soup as it's so cold outside...
Here are some pictures of my first visit to England years ago...
Actually, I wouldn't mind a long walk in the countryside and finish in an old cosy pub with a nice fire on and a tasty lunch, my perfect winter day... have a warm weekend all of you there :)
