While we were vacationing with friends in Duck, N.C. we bought a bushel of peaches. I was requested to make a cobbler with them, and I researched the internet for the perfect recipe to WOW everyone.I thought the boiling water in the dough was unique and decided to try this recipe that I adapted from turned out to be the hit of the vacation. I double the recipe and put in 9 x 13 pan. Ingredients:
8 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced into thin wedges (i have only used fresh) |
1/4 cup white sugar |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice |
2 teaspoons cornstarch (i used flour) |
1 cup all-purpose flour (i used self-rising and omitted the baking powder) |
1/4 cup white sugar |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces |
1/4 cup boiling water |
3 tablespoons white sugar |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, combine peaches, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch.
3. Toss to coat evenly, and pour into a 2 quart baking dish.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes(I cooked filling on top of stove until thickened).
5. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine flour, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
6. Blend in butter with your fingertips, or a pastry blender, until mixture resembles coarse meal.
7. Stir in water until just combined.
8. Remove peaches from oven, and drop spoonfuls of topping over them.
9. Sprinkle entire cobbler with the sugar and cinnamon mixture.
10. I sprinkled only a little bit, since it was turning the top too brown for my taste.
11. Bake until topping is golden, about 30 minutes.
