Ingredients

8 peaches, peeled and sliced, about 6 to 8 cups
1/4 cup bourbon
3/4 cup sugar, plus more for dusting
2 tablespoons corn starch
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
16 tablespoons (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter
3/4 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing

Directions

Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.

In a large bowl add the peaches, bourbon, 1/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon and mix well to coat the peaches evenly; set aside.

Prepare the dumplings: Into a bowl sift together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) butter into small pieces. Add it to the flour mixture and cut it in with a pastry blender or your hands until the mixture looks like coarse bread crumbs. Pour in the cream and mix just until the dough comes together. Don't overwork; the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.

In a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-low heat, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Add the peaches and cook gently until heated through, about 5 minutes. Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls over the warm peaches. There can be gaps, the dough will puff up and spread out as it bakes. Brush the top with some heavy cream and sprinkle with some sugar; put it into the oven on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Cook for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is browned and the fruit is bubbling.

The Reviews Are Right-The Best Cobbler!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Tried this last Saturday for a picnic lunch, after reading the great reviews. I say...who else but a "Southern Boy" to trust... for a Peach Cobbler (with a twist)...absolutely delicious!! I'd experimented this summer with Peach Blueberry pies, crisps etc...but was tiring of making them and wanted to try a cobbler, which I'd never made or eaten before. This was perfection! First..my home smelled like those candles people buy to "smell homey"...and like another reviewer said...once I smelled that, I knew too it was a winner. The bourbon, which I'd thought sounded like a great marrying with peaches, is tasty but not overpowering...just a great subtle mix of flavoring... a slight extra with the sweet peaches. I followed to the letter with only one exception...I mixed in about a third whole wheat flour with the regular...was just fine. On the rest, instead of my usual "trying to lighten it up" ...I figured, go for it...full-fat cream and butta' for a good old Southern favorite...and it was worth it. But with all that....it is not overly rich at all...just a delightful dessert. Thanks Tyler...you have never disappointed me...your recipes are always the "Ultimate!"Read more

Best Ever

I used rum instead of bourbon, was absolutely wonderful. I've made it at least 4 times, and my family raves everytime.

Yum! Great Cobbler
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I had some raspberries that I wanted to use up as well as a not great nectarine, I added these to the great peaches that I... had. I also decreased the sugar slightly and didn't bother peeling the fruit. It was easy and delicious. We had a scoop of vanilla ice cream with it. I will make this again and try it with other fruit. It is now my 'basic cobbler' recipe!Read more

Love it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I found some beautiful white peaches for this cobbler. As it was baking, the fragrance that filled the kitchen told me... everything I needed to know. The dumplings morphed into a top crust that was golden and crispy, yet it was light at the same time. The bourbon gave the peaches a special flavor. I agree with the other reviewers: this is the best peach cobbler I have ever had.Read more

yummy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a bit labor intensive but worth it. You have butter cream and sugar how can it be bad. The topping comes out light... and crispy. Other cobblers I've made seam a bit heavy and leaden. The taste is amazing and worth the effort. I could just eat the top and for get the peaches. I definitely recommend this recipe it's worth every calorie. Read more
