Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe
A peach cobbler recipe is a favorite dessert for both the cook and the ones who get to eat it. For the cook, there is not too much preparation for this dessert apart from making dough, preparing the fruit mixture and baking.Â
Preparation of this peach cobbler recipe can be made even simpler by using a prepared biscuit mixture instead of making your own dough from scratch. The cook also has a choice whether to put the dough below the fruit or above it. Either way, this dessert will be delicious.Â
A peach cobbler recipe is similar to a deep-dish pie only the dough bakes to a cake like texture and it does not take as long to cook the cobbler as it does the pie. It is also hard to go wrong with this peach cobbler recipe because if you follow the directions, the only problem could be an undercooked cobbler which you can just easily put back into the oven until it is done.Â
Dough Ingredients
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons double acting baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup cream or milk
Fruit Filling Ingredients
1 egg or 2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons flour
2/3 to 1 cup sugar
1/3 cup melted butter
4 - 5 cups fresh peaches, peeled, seeded and halved or quartered
Directions For Fruit Filling
1. Beat the egg and add the melted butter to it. Blend in the flour and sugar. Set this mixture aside.
2. Prepare your fresh fruit by peeling, seeding and halving or quartering.Â
3. Put the egg mixture and the fruit into a pot. Bring the mixture to a slight boil and remove from the heat. Set aside.
Directions For The Dough
1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and butter and flour an 8 x 8 baking pan or something suitable that is similar in size.Â
2. Your flour should be sifted before it is measured and when you have your correct flour amount, add the baking powder, salt and sugar into it, and sift again.
3. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut in the butter until the texture is consistent throughout the flour mixture.
4. Add the milk or cream to your flour mixture with a fork.Â
5. On a floured surface, gently knead your dough for thirty seconds. Press to a 1/4 inch thickness with your hands.Â
6. Depending on whether you want your fruit on the top or bottom, put either your dough or the fruit mixture into your baking pan. If your dough is on top, dot the surface with butter and you may also sprinkle cinnamon on the top as well. Bake your peach cobbler recipe for thirty minutes.
