Ingredients
  

For the Peaches
  • 6 cups peeled, sliced peaches fresh or frozen
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
For the Biscuit Topping
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup milk

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly.
  3. Pour the peach mixture into the 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt for the biscuit topping.
  5. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the peach mixture in the baking dish.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
  9. Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Serve warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
