Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons shortening
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 4 cups sliced fresh peaches
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Cook filling over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil 1 minute. Pour mixture into an ungreased 2-quart casserole dish. Keep mixture hot in oven while you make the topping.

Step 3

Remove peach filling from oven and drop dough onto peaches in 6 equal-size spoonfuls.

Step 4

Return cobbler to oven and bake until topping is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

Step 5

Combine 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a saucepan and whisk to mix. Stir in sliced peaches (see tip) and lemon juice, tossing until peaches are evenly coated.

Step 6

Combine flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Mix thoroughly, then cut in shortening (or butter) until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Add milk and stir until mixture is evenly moistened.
