Old Fashioned Peach Cobbler

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Peel, pit, and slice 3 pounds fresh peaches and add them to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Toss them with the zest and juice from 1 medium lemon, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons cornstarch, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined. Spread the peaches across the bottom of the prepared baking pan.

In a large mixing bowl, stir together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Use

Cube the cold 1/2 cup salted butter into small pieces. Then use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles a coarse meal or sand. Alternatively, you can pulse the ingredients in a food processor.

Slowly pour 1 cup half and half into the flour mixture while stirring to form a thick, sticky batter.

Scoop the batter in large clumps to cover the top of the peaches, forming a patchwork quilt of what looks like a cobblestone street.

Bake in the preheated 350 oven for 1 hour, until the crust is golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool until ready to serve.
