Peach Cobbler

By kimrinaldi1

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs (675 g) ripe peaches, peeled, pitted,
• and cut into wedges
• 1 cup (250 ml) sugar
• 2 Tbs (30 ml) cornstarch (cornflour)
• 2 Tbs (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp (5 ml) cinnamon
• 1 cup (250 ml) all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp (10 ml) baking powder
• 1/2 tsp (2 ml) salt
• 1 Tbs (15 ml) vegetable shortening
• 1/2 cup (125 ml) milk

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the peaches, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a
mixing bowl and toss to thoroughly combine. Heap the peach mixture
into an 8- or 9-inch (20 - 23 cm) baking disk or deep pie plate. Sift
together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut the shortening into
the flour mixture with a fork until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in
the milk. Roll the dough out on a floured surface and spread over the
mound of peaches. Cut two or three air vents in the crust, and seal
the edges. Bake in a preheated 375F (190C) oven for 30 to 35 minutes,
until the crust is golden brown. Serve warm, with ice cream if
desired. Serves 6 to 8.
