Leas Peach Piecobbler Recipes

PEACH COBBLER

Steps:

• Add the sliced peaches, sugar and salt to a saucepan and stir to combine. *(If using canned peaches, skip steps 1 & 2 and follow the directions starting at step 3)
• Cook on medium heat for just a few minutes, until the sugar is dissolved and helps to bring out juices from the peaches. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Slice butter into pieces and add to a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place the pan in the oven while it preheats, to allow the butter to melt. Once melted, remove the pan from the oven.
• In a large bowl mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk, just until combined. Pour the mixture into the pan, over the melted butter and smooth it into an even layer.
• Spoon the peaches and juice (or canned peaches, if using) over the batter. Sprinkle cinnamon generously over the top.
• Bake at 350 degrees for about 38-40 minutes. Serve warm, with a scoop of ice cream, if desired.

PEACH COBBLER PIE

Steps:

• For the pie filling: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate, place a piece of parchment paper on top and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
• Parbake the pie crust for 5 minutes, remove from the oven and cool.
• Combine the peaches, cornstarch, brown sugar, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl and toss to mix well. Transfer the peach mixture to the pie crust.
• For the cobbler topping: In a food processor, combine the flour, butter, baking powder, baking soda, salt and 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar, Pulse until the mixture is grainy with pea-size chunks of butter, about 30 seconds. Do not over process or the topping will become runny. Add the buttermilk and pulse 2 to 3 more times to combine.
• Dot the topping over the top of the pie filling. Do not make the dots too big or they will not cook through. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar over the top.
• Bake the pie until the edges of the crust are golden brown, the cobbler topping is cooked through and the fruit is tender, 40 to 50 minutes. If the pie crust browns before the cobbler topping is cooked through, cover the edges with foil and continue baking.

EDNA LEWIS'S PEACH COBBLER

Steps:

• Make the pastry: Set aside a small bowl of ice water. On a work surface, mound flour, salt and sugar, and mix to blend. Top with frozen butter and lard or shortening, and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until it resembles coarse meal; some large pieces of the fats should still be visible.
• Quickly form a mound and, with your finger, draw a trench down the center. Sprinkle trench with 1 tablespoon ice water and fluff flour so it absorbs the water. Repeat three times, drawing trenches and sprinkling each with 1 tablespoon ice water, so 4 tablespoons of water have been incorporated. The dough should be starting to clump in large pieces. If necessary, add water by droplets until dough begins to form a mass.
• Gather dough with a pastry scraper. Working quickly, use the heel of your hand to smear an egg-size piece of dough by pushing it away from you. Continue with remaining dough (about 6 smears total), then gather dough again and repeat the process. Shape into 2 flat disks, and cover each in a double-thickness of plastic wrap, pressing wrapped disks to further shape and bind them. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Roll out one chilled disk to 1/8-inch thickness, large enough to line and slightly overhang an 8-inch-square 2-inch-deep baking dish, or other shallow 2-quart pan. Trim to leave 1/2 inch of pastry above rim, refrigerating both pan and trimmings. Roll out remaining dough to about 1/8-inch thickness, to cover top of cobbler, again trimming and refrigerating excess dough. Slide top crust onto a plate, and refrigerate.
• Make the filling: Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a mixing bowl, toss together peaches, sugar, flour, salt and nutmeg. Place mixture in the crust-lined baking dish, and tuck chilled trimmings into the center and sides of the filling, scattering them throughout. Top with butter slices. Moisten rim of dough with water and slide flat pastry crust on top. Press edges of dough to seal, and cut a few 1-inch slits in top crust. If desired, sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees, and continue to bake until crust is deep golden brown and filling begins to bubble through slits, 30 to 40 more minutes. Cool cobbler on a rack until warm. If desired, serve with lightly sweetened whipped cream or ice cream.
