You have the cast iron bean pot with the lid and it has 3 little legs on it. Put in it in this order: 1 can peaches, not drained; 1 yellow dry cake mix; 1 can lemon-lime soda pop. Stick it in the fire with some coals on top of the lid for about an hour, maybe less depending on altitude. that's it! peach cobbler while camping. http://finefuriouslife.com/2008/05/18/southern-crack-or-country-clafoutis/#comment-426 HM Wed, 11 Jun 2008 12:57:30 +0000 http://finefuriouslife.com/?p=66#comment-426 The butter makes the dry cake mix kind of like a crumb topping, also, some of the juices from the fruit seep up from underneath so there is a little bit of fluffy cakey bits too. Mmmm, good stuff :D ]]> http://finefuriouslife.com/2008/05/18/southern-crack-or-country-clafoutis/#comment-425 Michele Humes Tue, 10 Jun 2008 23:11:32 +0000 http://finefuriouslife.com/?p=66#comment-425 Scott, it gets "rehydrated" with the two sticks of melted butter. The recipe I've given is tested and accurate. http://finefuriouslife.com/2008/05/18/southern-crack-or-country-clafoutis/#comment-424 scott Tue, 10 Jun 2008 21:49:29 +0000 http://finefuriouslife.com/?p=66#comment-424 Are you sure about Jan74's question? You really pour dry cake mix over the other ingredients? How on earth would that work? http://finefuriouslife.com/2008/05/18/southern-crack-or-country-clafoutis/#comment-423 Antiques Tue, 10 Jun 2008 19:13:52 +0000 http://finefuriouslife.com/?p=66#comment-423 my fav is pineapple cheese cake, we shrepped pineapple mixed. and by cheesecake i mean cream cheese not ricotta cheese. http://finefuriouslife.com/2008/05/18/southern-crack-or-country-clafoutis/#comment-422 The Downtown Boutique Tue, 10 Jun 2008 15:28:51 +0000 http://finefuriouslife.com/?p=66#comment-422 Oh yeah! This stuff is awesome! I've only tried it with the canned cherry pie filling, pineapple, and pecans. It's really good right out of the oven with a good sized serving of vanilla ice cream! YUUUUUMMMMMM!!!!! http://finefuriouslife.com/2008/05/18/southern-crack-or-country-clafoutis/#comment-419 HM Fri, 06 Jun 2008 16:46:16 +0000 http://finefuriouslife.com/?p=66#comment-419 Makes me think of a pumpkin surprise dish that I discovered this thanksgiving season: Basically consists of a can of pumpkin pie filling (either just the can or made according to instructions with evaporated milk and eggs, although just about everyone liked it plain) a box of cake mix, a stick of butter and either pumpkin seeds or nuts (walnuts or pecans) You spread the can of pumpkin pie mix in the bottom of a baking dish, sprinkle the dry cake mix over top (makes a layer about an inch thick or so) and drizzle the stick of butter over the whole thing. Sprinkle with nuts or seeds if you're using them and bake (I forgot the exact time, but you could probably google pumpkin dump cake or pumpkin surprise or something) It was a big hit, and basically was like a pumpkin pie cobbler. Mmmmm.

I'm married to a Southerner and lived in the Atlanta 'burbs for 5 years. Loved it... though you're right that it's not all mint juleps. There's the ugly side that you'll find eventually. I'll give you another fun Southern recipe: Poor Man's Peach Cobbler. Melt 1 stick butter in a 9x13 dish (while preheating your oven to 350*F). Mix together 1 cup self-rising flour with 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk. Pour over melted butter. Add 1 can peaches in light or heavy syrup, spooning peaches with **some** of the syrup, but not all. Bake until golden. It's unbelievable, and a staple in every Southern lady's household. People beg me to make this. BEG.
