Thanks so much for the recipes PC! Now you have to explain what biccies are, lol.

Sorry - biscuits. What we call cookies. (We call your biscuits scones.)

It was nice of you to do the conversions on them!

Thanks, but I didn't. Somebody at the CWA did that (possibly the person who submitted the recipe). A lot of the recipes in the CWA cookbook are "old", there are all sorts of weird and wonderful things that modern people probably wouldn't dream of eating. We used to have imperial measurements once-upon-a-time (1966 I think was when they swapped it to metric). All the old recipes would have been in imperial measurements and somebody would have converted them to metric (rather than the other way around).
EDIT: that's definitely a converted imperial recipe - nobody would create a recipe using 185g of anything, you'd use 200g. It's obviously converted from the 6oz/3oz of an imperial recipe.

Anybody have a good peach cobbler recipe?

Colorado Peach Cobbler

1-1/2 lbs. fresh peaches (3 large or 5 medium peaches)
3/4 to 1 cup sugar, depending on the sweetness of the fruit (my version 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup Splenda or Sucralose)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup milk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
6 tbsp butter

Preheat oven to 375° F.

Bring a saucepan full of water to a boil. Dip the peaches into the boiling water for 60 to 90 seconds, remove, and slip off the skins. Cut the peaches into wedges.

In a mixing bowl, toss the peaches gently with 1/4 cup of the sugar and the cinnamon.

Place the butter in a 9" square baking pan and place it in the oven until the butter is melted and hot.

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar to taste, and the baking powder. Stir in the milk and eggs until just blended.

Remove the pan with melted butter from the oven and immediately pour the batter over the butter. Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter.

Bake 40 to 45 minutes, until puffed and brown.

Serves 6.

Substitute black raspberries, blackberries or blueberries for half of the peaches to turn it into a peach-berry cobbler.

Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream.

If you like baked beans, you will love
Baked Lima Beans
courtesy Patti Klingensmith

2 lbs. dry lima beans
1 lb. bacon - chopped and fried
1 large diced onion sauteed in bacon
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 large bottle ketchup (36 oz.)
2 tbsp. yellow mustard
Dash Worcestershire

Soak lima beans over night in water. Cook the next day until nearly tender. Drain.

Saute the bacon and onion together, adding the onion once the bacon is lightly browned. Drain and add to lima beans.

Add the sugars, ketchup, Worcestershire and mustard to the beans.

Bake at 350° F for 1 1/2 hours.

Note: I cook the beans in a Slow Cooker or Crockpot. I also use the Slow Cooker or Crockpot for the final cooking rather than baking in an oven. I substituted sucralose for the white sugar.
