PEACH COBBLER

Category: Cobblers/Crumbles and Crisps

3 lbs ripe fresh peaches or 6 c. drained, thawed, frozen peach slices
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon peel
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 cup water
1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup unsifted all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp butter, softened
1 egg

Heat oven to 400. Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole. Peel and slice fresh peaches. Place in greased casserole. Stir in lemon juice and lemon peel.

In 1-quart saucepan stir together brown sugar and cornstarch. Gradually add water, stirring until cornstarch is dissolved. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens, 5 minutes. Pour sauce over peaches in casserole. Set aside 1 tsp sugar.

To prepare topping, in medium size bowl, stir together remaining sugar, flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. With wooden spoon, stir in butter and egg until a soft dough forms. Drop spoonfuls onto peach mixture (topping will spread as it bakes). Sprinkle with reserved 1 tsp sugar.

Bake cobbler 40-45 minutes or until topping is golden brown and filling bubbles. Cool slightly on wire rack. Sprinkle with additional sugar if desired. Serve peach cobbler warm or at room temperature.
