sugar

brown sugar

tsp cardamom or cinnamon

nutmeg

cornstarch

salt

all-purpose flour

+ 2 tbsp sugar

tsp baking powder

tsp salt

butter

milk

Preheat the oven to 400˚F.

To make the peach filling, put peach slices in a 10-inch cast iron skillet or 2.5 qt baking pan. Add the sugars, spices, cornstarch, and salt; toss well and set aside.

To make the biscuit topping, whisk together flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the butter pieces until the flour turns into coarse crumb. Whisk egg and milk together in a small mixing bowl and add to the flour mixture. Using a fork, stir the mixture until just combined.

Using a spoon, drop mounds of biscuit topping on the peach filling. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoon of sugar on top of biscuit topping. Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes until the biscuit top is golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Southern Peach Cobbler – A Classic Comfort Dessert

granulated sugar (adjust depending on the sweetness of the peaches)

cornstarch (to thicken the filling)

cinnamon

lemon juice (optional,

vanilla extract (optional,

baking powder

unsalted butter,

whole milk (or buttermilk

Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Baking Dish

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9&#215;9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

Prepare the Peach Filling

In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir together until the peaches are evenly coated. Pour into the prepared baking dish.

Make the Biscuit Topping

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the milk and stir until just combined.

Assemble the Cobbler

Spoon the biscuit topping over the peach filling in dollops. The topping should be in clumps, not spread evenly. It will spread and puff up while baking.

Bake the Cobbler

Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.

Cool and Serve

Once baked, remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
