Canned peaches make this peach cobbler easy to prepare.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 large can (29 ounces) sliced peaches in light syrup
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1/4 cup chilled butter
  • 1/3 cup milk

PREPARATION:

Heat oven to 400°.

Drain peaches, reserving syrup. Arrange peach slices in a lightly buttered 1-quart baking dish.

Measure 1 cup of the syrup into a small saucepan; blend in the sugars, lemon juice, spices, salt, butter, and cornstarch. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil; simmer, stirring, until thickened and clear, about 4 to 5 minutes. Pour the hot mixture over the peaches. Place in the oven while preparing topping.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons sugar. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk and stir until a stiff dough is formed. Drop by spoonfuls onto the hot peach filling. Return to the oven and bake until topping is browned, about 20 minutes. Serve warm, with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
