Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter, cold and diced
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a small 6-inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with butter or cooking spray.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine sliced peaches, 2 tablespoons of sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Gently toss the peaches until they are evenly coated. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the peaches to release their natural juices.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt to create the biscuit topping dry ingredients.
- Add cold, diced butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
- Slowly pour in the milk, stirring gently with a fork until a soft, shaggy dough forms. Be careful not to overmix the biscuit dough.
- Transfer the macerated peaches and their juices to the prepared baking dish, spreading them evenly across the bottom.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough on top of the peaches, creating a rustic, uneven topping that allows some fruit to peek through.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes. This allows the filling to set and prevents burning your mouth.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Tips
- • Use ripe, in-season peaches for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness. • Keep your butter ice-cold when making the biscuit topping to ensure a flaky, tender texture. • Don't overmix the biscuit dough - a few lumps are actually desirable for that rustic, homemade feel. • Let the peaches macerate (sit with sugar) to release their natural juices and concentrate their flavor. • For an extra touch of decadence, serve warm with vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream. • If your peaches aren't super ripe, add an extra tablespoon of sugar to enhance their sweetness. • Use a small baking dish to keep the portions intimate and the presentation adorable.
