I encourage you to start the weekend preparing this wonderful peach dessert. The term cobbler is probably unfamiliar to you, but it shouldn't scare you. It is a preparation that has its origin in the United States and consists of a fresh fruit base and a baked sponge cake.
The cobbler They can be prepared with countless fruits: plums, cherries, blueberries ... and it is common to accompany them with a yogurt or ice cream. To make this cobbler we have chosen some ripe peaches and a yogurt ice cream, but you can create your own version. It is very simple to do, so it will not be the last you do.
- 6 peaches, thinly sliced
- 55 g. cup of brown sugar
- The zest and juice of 2 lemons
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 160 g. whole wheat flour
- 60 g. of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of chemical yeast
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 76 g. cold butter in cubes
- 120 ml. buttermilk (250ml of whole milk + juice of ½ lemon)
- ½ cup of sliced almonds
- Ice cream to serve
- We prepare the buttermilk. To do this, we put the milk in a bowl and then pour the lemon juice. We stir and let it rest for 10 minutes at room temperature until we achieve a mixture with the appearance of cut milk.
- We preheat the oven at 200ºC and grease a 22x22cm dish.
- In a large bowl we mix the peach, brown sugar, lemon zest and juice, cornstarch and cinnamon. We pour the mixture into the baking dish and reserve.
- In another bowl we mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the butter in cubes and we pinch with our fingers until pea-sized granules are formed.
- Then we incorporate the buttermilk and we beat -with the shovel if our mixer has this utensil- until forming a homogeneous dough.
- To finish, we put some tablespoons of dough over the peach mixture and sprinkle with almonds.
- Bake 45-55 minutes or until peaches are tender and crust is lightly golden.
- We serve with ice cream or yogurt.
