We have a peach tree that is much later to produce than others in the area. We're just now starting to get peaches from it. Some of them are pretty great, but far too many are small and green and spotted with some kind of fungus. We tried to thin them and spray the tree, but obviously didn't do enough. The tree is weighed down with peaches and 2 of the branches have broken off because we didn't thin the peaches enough.
What to do with this bounty?
This morning we had oven pancakes with peach sauce (pureed peaches with a bit of OJ to thin it and a dash of almond extract and a spoonful or two of sugar).
Oven pancakes aka David Eyre's Pancakes aka Dutch Babies aka Puffy Pancakes
for each serving, mix together
1/4 c. milk
1/4 c. flour
1 egg
a pinch of salt
(so if you're making it for 4, use 1 cup milk, 1 cup flour, 4 eggs, etc.)
Melt some butter in a baking dish (9x13 is good for 4 servings) at 450 degrees. Use 2-4 Tbs. Pour the batter into the hot dish, and put it back into the oven. Bake until puffed up and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately with toppings of your choice. Some ideas: fresh fruit and whipped cream, fruit sauces, applesauce, maple syrup, jam, powdered sugar...
