Ingredients

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

How To Make peach cobbler

  • Step 1
    Heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Step 2
    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.
  • Step 3
    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.
  • Step 4
    Pour in the cream and mix just until the dough comes together. Don’t overwork; the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
  • Step 5
    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.
  • Step 6
    Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls over the warm peaches. There can be gaps, the dough will puff up and spread out as it bakes.
  • Step 7
    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.
  • Step 8
    Cook for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is browned and the fruit is bubbling.
