Recipe for Peach Cobbler With Bourbon

INGREDIENTS:

  • 6-8 peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 c bourbon (or water or apple juice)
  • 3/4 c sugar, plus extra for dusting
  • 2 Tbsp corn starch
  • 1 tsp cinnamon, ground
  • 1.5 c all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 16 Tbsp (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter
  • 3/4 c heavy cream, plus extra for brushing

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F

2. In a large bowl, add the peaches, bourbon (or juice), 1/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon, and mix to coat evenly; set aside.

3. Prepare the dumplings. Sift the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

4. Cube 12 tablespoons (1.5 sticks) butter. Add it to the flour mixture and cut it in with a pastry blender or your hands until it looks like coarse bread crumbs.

5. Pour in the cream and mix just until the dough comes together. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable. Refrigerate.

6. In a 10-inch cast iron skillet, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat. Add the peaches and cook gently until heated through, about 5 minutes. Alternatively, you can use a large skillet and transfer it to a 13×9 baking pan. Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls over the warm peaches.

7. There can be gaps; the dough will puff up and spread out as it bakes. 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. Cook for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is browned and the fruit is bubbling.
