REE DRUMMOND PEACH COBBLER RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the filling: Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, thyme, garlic and shallots to a 12-inch cast-iron skillet. Drizzle in the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Toss to combine and set aside.
• For the drop biscuit topping: Combine the flour, Parmesan, baking powder, oregano, thyme and salt in a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the dry ingredients and the butter are mostly combined. (If you do not have a food processor, this can be done with a pastry cutter.) Drizzle in the buttermilk and pulse (or stir in with a wooden spoon) until the mixture just forms a dough. Be careful not to overmix, as the biscuits will become tough when baked if you do.
• Using 2 large spoons, drop 1/4 cup-sized balls of dough on top of the tomato mixture. Transfer to the oven, then bake until the biscuit topping is golden, and the filling is hot and bubbling, 24 to 26 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil and serve.

Steps:

• For the pie filling: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate, place a piece of parchment paper on top and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
• Parbake the pie crust for 5 minutes, remove from the oven and cool.
• Combine the peaches, cornstarch, brown sugar, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl and toss to mix well. Transfer the peach mixture to the pie crust.
• For the cobbler topping: In a food processor, combine the flour, butter, baking powder, baking soda, salt and 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar, Pulse until the mixture is grainy with pea-size chunks of butter, about 30 seconds. Do not over process or the topping will become runny. Add the buttermilk and pulse 2 to 3 more times to combine.
• Dot the topping over the top of the pie filling. Do not make the dots too big or they will not cook through. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar over the top.
• Bake the pie until the edges of the crust are golden brown, the cobbler topping is cooked through and the fruit is tender, 40 to 50 minutes. If the pie crust browns before the cobbler topping is cooked through, cover the edges with foil and continue baking.
