PEACH COBBLER WITH BISCUIT TOPPING RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter or oil a 9-inch square baking dish (or 2-quart dish).
• Toss sliced peaches with berries (optional), lemon juice, sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and the salt. Pour into baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes.
• Whisk flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, baking powder and the salt together. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut butter into the flour until crumbly. Pour in milk. Stir with a fork until a soft dough forms. Dot tablespoon-sized dollops of biscuit dough over pre-baked peaches, leaving some space between each dollop. (As the cobbler bakes, the topping will spread out a little).
• Combine the remaining tablespoon of sugar and cinnamon for topping. Sprinkle over biscuit dollops.
• Bake the cobbler 40 to 50 minutes or until juices are bubbling and topping is golden brown. Cool 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚. Butter a 9-inch by 13-inch baking dish.  For the fruit: Slice the peaches and remove the pits. Place them in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch and kosher salt, until no small lumps of cornstarch can be seen. Set aside. For the topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Add the butter then cut it into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or your fingers, until pea-sized clumps form. Pour the milk into the flour mixture and stir with a fork until just combined. Add the sugar mixture and lemon juice to the peaches and stir gently to combine. Pour the peaches into the prepared baking dish. With a small, trigger-handled ice cream scoop or two spoons, scoop small portions of the dough and drop it onto the surface of the fruit. (The topping will spread as it bakes.) Sprinkle all over with coarse sugar. Bake until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, 45-50 minutes. (Tent the top of the cobbler with foil if the topping starts to get too dark). Let rest for 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream.
