Ingredients

8 to 12 peaches, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 tablespoons cornstarch or flour
5 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Pinch salt
2 cups blackberries
Topping, recipe follows

Topping:

2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon dried ginger
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 pinches mace or nutmeg
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon sugar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a bowl, combine the peaches, cornstarch or flour, brown sugar, lemon juice and salt, tossing gently. Carefully fold in the blackberries and transfer the mixture to an 8-cup baking dish. Set aside.

Topping: In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or hand mixer or your fingertips), mix the flour, salt, brown sugar, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, and mace or nutmeg. Add the butter and mix until coarse and crumbly. Add 3/4 cup of milk and mix just until combined. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times to smooth it out. Form into a ball and roll out into the shape and size of the baking dish, about 1/2-inch thick. Place the dough on top of the prepared fruit.

Brush the top of the dough with the remaining tablespoon of milk and sprinkle with the granulated sugar. Place the cobbler on a sheet-pan to catch any juices that may boil over. Bake until the top is golden brown and juices are bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Good tip :-) don't add all the milk at once
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The reviewer who recommended not adding all the milk at once was completely right - it makes the dough far too wet. When the... measurements are fixed, it's a good recipe, though.Read more

Confusing Directions
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Prepared this recipe today, but the instructions indicate you are to knead and roll out the dough to 1/2" thickneess;... however, the proportion of flour to milk produced a batter consistency. Might be better to add smaller amounts of milk into flour to ensure doughy consistency. I baked it in batter form and the cobbler had a biscuit-like topping which was good...just not what I had expected!Read more

Quick, Easy and Delicious!

This recipe is great to take to a party in the summer when the peaches are sweet and in season. It's quick, easy and VERY... delicious. Taste your fruit before you add sugar and adjust accordingly. This one is a keeper!Read more
