Grandma Hall’s Peach Pudding Surprise

 

 

Sooo, what’s the surprise you ask? .. it don’t taste like pudding!! Haha This recipe dates back from the great depression in the 1930’s. My grandma was thoughtful enough to keep this gem in the family.  I’ve always considered this to be a cobbler but my aunt, Chippy, says it’s not. She’s been cooking longer than me so I believe her! ha Either way, this is the BEST dessert on the planet topped with Ice Cream!
