This is a basic cobbler recipe with biscuit-shaped dough baked on top of the peaches. It is good for anyone with at least one peach tree in their backyard. I've tried using store-bought fruit with this recipe but just doesn't have the same taste.
Peach mix:
10 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
1/4 c. cornstarch
2 tbsp. dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
Dough mix:
1/4 c. granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
6 tbsp. cold unsalted butter
1 large egg
2/3 c. heavy cream
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Put peaches, cornstarch, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Toss until well combined. Pour mixture into an 8 1/2" by 11 1/2" baking dish.
3. In another bowl, combine flour, 1/4 c. granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles a coarse meal.
4. Whisk together egg and cream in a liquid measuring cup. Slowly add this mixture to dry ingredients. Mix with a fork until dough just comes together. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and roughly shape a log. Using a knife, cut log into 12 equal portions.
5. Place rough balls of dough on top of peach mixture. Sprinkle remaining 2 tbsp. of granulated sugar on top of the dough. 6. Bake until golden brown, about 40-45 minutes.
