PEACH COBBLER

Categories     dessert

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
6 medium fresh peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced (about 3 pounds)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling, optional
2 teaspoons baking powder
Fine salt
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • For the filling: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Stir together the sugar, flour and nutmeg in a medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup water and the lemon juice to make a smooth mixture. Add the fruit and toss gently to coat evenly.
  • Put the saucepan on the stovetop over medium-low heat and stir the fruit mixture gently until it simmers. Reduce the heat to low and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Transfer to a shallow 2-quart baking or gratin dish and dot with the butter. Set aside.
  • For the biscuits: Stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Work in the butter with your fingertips until the texture resembles coarse meal. Add the milk, vanilla and lemon zest to the dry ingredients and stir just until moistened to make a wet, slightly lumpy dough. Do not over mix.
  • Drop large spoonfuls of dough onto the top of the peaches, randomly spacing mounds of dough and leaving some uncovered areas to give a "cobbled" look. Spread the dough to an even thickness and sprinkle dough with sugar if desired.
  • Bake the cobbler until the biscuits are lightly browned, about 45 minutes. Let the cobbler set up at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe peaches: Using ripe peaches will ensure that your peach betty is bursting with flavor. Look for peaches that are slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet aroma.
  • Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice will brighten up the flavor of your peach betty and prevent the peaches from browning. If you don't have fresh lemon juice, you can use bottled lemon juice, but be sure to use half the amount.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your peach betty tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the peach betty until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbly: This will ensure that your peach betty is cooked through and that the topping is crispy.
  • Serve the peach betty warm or at room temperature: Peach betty is best served warm or at room temperature, but it can also be served cold. If you are serving it cold, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Peach betty is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up ripe peaches, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
