Ingredients
Butter, for greasing baking dish
Fruit:
3 pounds frozen peaches
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (note: we did not do this in the show, but it is necessary)
3 tablespoons lemon juice
Pinch of salt
Topping:
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 heaping tablespoons sugar, plus extra for sprinkling over the top
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons vegetable shortening or lard
3/4 cup whole milk
2 whole eggs
Vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream, for serving
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a baking dish.
- For the fruit: In a bowl, combine the peaches, sugar, flour, lemon juice and salt. Stir and set aside.
- For the topping: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir together. Add the butter and shortening, and then cut together with a pastry cutter. Beat the milk and eggs together. Pour into the flour mixture and stir with a fork until just combined.
- Pour the peaches into the prepared baking dish. Tear off pinches of the dough topping and drop it onto the surface of the fruit, creating a "cobbled" texture. Sprinkle additional sugar over the top.
- Bake until golden brown and bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. If the cobbler is too juicy, use a turkey baster to remove a little of the juice (or spoon the juice over ice cream). Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
