My wife saw a clip of the movie and I’ve seen Steel Magnolia’s twice and I totally missed this scene I guess. We thought it was funny when she said she served it with ice cream to cut the sweetness.
Steel Magnolias is a Southern staple, and, obviously, so is Dolly Parton. Truvy's (Dolly Parton's character) Cuppa Cuppa Cuppa Cake is about as easy as it gets. Simply mix together flour, sugar, and fruit cocktail, and bake until golden.

I LOVE peach cobbler with ice cream. We do have our own recipe though. It was given to us years ago by one of the sweetest ladies at a church we went to at the time. I personally wouldn’t want to use fruit cocktail because they sometimes use less than ideal fruit and the pears are almost always not the best.
Peach Cobbler
Ingredients:
1 stick (8 tbsps) butter - salted
1 cup sugar
1 cup self-rising flour
or
1 cup regular flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 29 oz. can sliced peaches in heavy syrup
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350.
Melt butter in microwave. Pour butter onto a deep baking dish (12 x 7 1/2 x 2). Mix sugar and flour well and pour in milk while whisking to prevent any lumps. Pour flour mixture over butter in dish. DO NOT stir.
Spoon peaches on top and pour syrup gently on top after peaches. DO NOT stir.
Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, until top is beginning to brown.
Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
That looks delicious! I can feel my blood sugar already spiking my glucose meter... I always enjoyed watching Steel Magnolias and I knew Southern women that mirrored those characters.

DeleteI grew up here in the South and I LOVE southern women and foods. My grandmother on my father's side could take anything you brought her and made it finger-lickin' good. Every one of her kids, men included, had to spend time in the kitchen with her and they all have her skills. If I hadn't grown up with hyperthyroidism, I would have been a very fat child.

If you love peaches and cobbler, you'll love this recipe. I might make one suggestion that's not in the recipe but it should be. If the peaches are large slices, you might want to cut them in half. If large chunks of peaches don't bother you, make no changes.
DeleteAnd where it says, "Do Not Stir" ... Do Not Stir. It makes a difference.
