Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400. Butter a baking dish.

Step 2

For the fruit: In a bowl, combine the peaches, sugar, flour, lemon juice and salt. Stir and set aside.

Step 3

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 flour mixture and stir with a fork until just combined.

Step 4

Pour the peaches into the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Bake until golden brown and bubbly, 30 - 35 minutes. Allow to sit for 10 - 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.
