Fresh Peach Cobbler - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 large egg
2/3 cup heavy cream
10 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced (2 quarts)
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving

Preparation

Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine flour, 4 T granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Use a fork, 2 knives, or a pastry blender to cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal.
Whisk together the egg and cream in a liquid measuring cup.
Slowly add this mixture to dry ingredients; mix with a fork until dough just comes together.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and roughly shape into a 12-inch log.
Using a bench scraper cut log into 12 equal portions.
Place the peaches, cornstarch, dark brown sugar, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
Toss until well combined.
Pour mixture into an 8 1/2 by 11 1/2-inch baking dish.
Place rough balls of dough on top of peach mixture.
Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
Bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes.
Remove to a rack and let cool slightly.
Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
