Peach Cobbler

I do love peaches!  They are sweet and juicy and perfect for dessert.  What better way to end your next summer barbecue?

4 cups of ripe peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced

1/2 cup sugar

2 Tbsp cornstarch

1 Tbsp lemon zest

1 Tbsp lemon juice

For the cobbler:

1/2 cup butter, cut into cubes

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 Tbsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup milk

Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees.

To make the filling, add peaches, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and lemon juice to a medium sized saucepan.  Bring the mixture to a simmer for 5 minutes.  Stir continuously until the peaches start to soften.  

Melt the butter by placing the cubes in a 9 x 9 baking dish and putting it into the preheated oven until the butter has melted.  

To create the cobbler batter, add the flour, baking powder, salt sugar, egg, vanilla and milk to a bowl and whisk until the flour is just combined.  

Pour the peaches into the baking dish overt the melted butter and pour the batter evenly over the peaches.

Bake in the oven for 40 - 45 minutes or until the cobbler is a nice golden brown.
