Bourbon Peach Cobbler

By Texaschef11

Ingredients

• Filling:
• 10 ripe peaches
• 3 tablespoons bourbon or whiskey
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 cups brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons corn starch
• Biscuit Dough:
• 2 cups flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar, plus 1 1/2 tablespoons for the top
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 stick butter, cubed and chilled
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 1 egg white, for washing

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine the peaches, bourbon, nutmeg, cinnamon, brown sugar, granulated sugar and corn starch. Mix together. Pour mixture into a 13-inch-by-9-inch casserole dish (or ramekins)

Combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl and mix. Cut in the butter with a fork, pastry blender or 2 knives until the dough resembles sand. Slowly add the buttermilk until the dough comes together. (You may not need all of the buttermilk)

Place the dough on a floured surface and knead it into a 13-inch-by-9-inch rectangle about 1/2-inch thick and place over the peach filling. (If using ramekins, cut rounds out of dough using a 4 inch biscuit cutter.) Use egg white as a wash, brushing on top of dough. Sprinkle the 11/2-tablespoons of sugar on top. Cook the cobbler until the top is golden brown, about 40 minutes. (If using ramekins, place them on a cookie sheet before putting into the oven. These will take much less time to bake. Start at 20 mins and keep checking until tops are golden brown.)
