last week georgia peaches started to ripen. i made s quick trip to the country where you can find peach stands by the dozen. i picked up a bucket of peaches that were picked earlier that morning and also walked through thomas orchards to see the lovely trees displaying the season’s bounty.
my visit to the orchard inspired me to make a cobbler, the dessert of the south. you can use whatever fruit is in season and serve it up with some fresh whipped cream or ice cream. some make thier cobblers with a crumb topping, i prefer using a sweet biscuit topping.
ingredients
6 cups peeled and cored peaches
1/2 cup sugar
5 Tbsp unbleached flour
——
1 3/4 cups unbleached flour
6 Tbsp sugar

1/2 cup milk or dairy-free milk

2 Tbsp butter or non-dairy butter
2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp cardamon

-mix in the 1/2 cup sugar and 5 Tbsp flour…set aside
——
-mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt
-add the cold butter and milk and stir until mixed
-spoon the biscuit mixture over the peaches.
——
-brush the melted butter over the cobbler

-put into the oven and bake until the top browns, about 45-50 minutes
-cool for about 20 minutes and serve with fresh whipping cream or ice cream
[...] been pretty darn hot. all you can think about eating is something cold. i had some left over cobbler that i made last week, from some blackberries that i picked at the studio. i thought i would try [...]
I am definitely going to try this. I love the cast iron pan too.
Yes… it’s 10:44pm, and I’m baking peach cobbler… your recipe
) When I saw this post, I just had to try it. I’m pretty spontaneous in the kitchen, so off to the grocery store I went. Okay, I just pulled it out of the oven… I’m going to wait for it to cool a little… I don’t know if I can wait 20 minutes. Thank you for sharing. This biscuit topping idea is just genius.

We’ll have to try this! We make peach cobbler in a giant cast iron dutch oven on the campfire, but really need to try your recipe and fresh peaches!
