PEACH COBBLER WITH ICE CREAM RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease a baking dish with a little butter, then lay the drained peach slices in the base. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp of the sugar and the ground ginger and set aside.
• Tip the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and a pinch of salt into a food processor. Whizz until combined, then add the cubes of butter, pulse until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs, then add the egg and continue to blitz until it comes together to make a thick dough.
• Spoon the dough in dollops on top of the peaches, creating a good covering, but leave some gaps for the dough to spread into. Sprinkle with a little caster sugar then bake for 40 mins, until golden. Serve with scoops of vanilla ice cream.

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.
