Pimento Cheese Sandwiches
Packaged in green wrappers, these are a Masters tradition. However, there are as many recipes for this “pâté of the South” as there are opinions on who’ll win this year’s Green Jacket. Graphic Designer Olivia Scarborough—from Macon Georgia by way of Arrae Creative—took time from creating our site for this easy pimento cheese recipe:

Ingredients:
1 1/2 lb. finely hand-grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese
8 oz. softened cream cheese
1/2 cup pimentos
Hot sauce or Worcestershire sauce to taste

Prep:
Hand-mix all together in a bowl. Makes one quart. Serve on white bread.
Note: Mayonnaise and cream cheese are usually interchangeable.

Georgia Peach Cobbler
According to Editor-at-Large and Georgia native Tom Ferrell, whipping up a peach cobbler, like taking on Amen Corner, “can appear to be a daunting task. But just as simple shot-making will get you through 11-13 at Augusta National, so will simple baking produce a fine showing on your Georgia Peach Cobbler.”

Ingredients:
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup whole milk
1 can (15 oz.) peaches in syrup

Prep:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
In one-quart baking dish, mix sugar & butter
Add flour and milk, mix until smooth
Add peaches and syrup from can
Bake approximately 30 minutes until golden brown
